Hymn of the City
The fathers built this city
Author: Rev. William George Tarrant Hymnal: The Hymnal #408 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The fathers built this city
In ages long ago,
And, busy in its busy streets,
They hurried to and fro;
The children played around them
And sang the songs of yore,
Till, one by one, they fell asleep,
To work and play no more.
2 Yet still the city standeth,
A hive of toiling men,
And mother’s love makes happy home
For children now as then;
O God of ages, help us,
Such citizens to be,
That children’s children here may sing
The songs of liberty!
3 Let all the people praise Thee,
Give all Thy saving health,
Or vain the laborer’s strong right arm
And vain the merchant’s wealth;
Send forth Thy light to stablish
The glory of the Word,
Until this city is become
The city of the Lord!
Amen. Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The City; City, The; Service Tune Title: PATMOS

Author: William G. Tarrant Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #76 (1936) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls Lyrics: 1 The fathers built this city
In ages long ago,
And busy in the busy streets,
They hurried to and fro;
The children played around them,
And sang the songs of yore,
Till one by one they fell asleep,
To work and play no more.
2 Yet still the city standeth,
A hive of toiling men,
And mother’s love makes happy home
For children now as then;
O God of ages, help us,
Such citizens to be,
That children’s children here may sing
The songs of liberty.
3 Let all the people praise thee,
Give all thy saving health,
Or vain the laborer’s strong right arm
And vain the merchant’s wealth,
Send out Thy light to banish
The shadows of the shame,
Till all the civic virtues shine
Around our city’s name.
4 A commonweal of brothers,
United, great and small,
Upon our banner blazoned be
The Charter, "Each for all!"
Nor let us cease from battle,
Nor weary sheathe the sword,
Until this city is become
The city of the Lord.
Amen. Topics: Our City Tune Title: ALFORD
