Our cities cry to you, O God
Author: Margaret Clarkson, 1915- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #720 (1997) Hymnal Title: The Book of Praise Lyrics: 1 Our cities cry to you, O God,
from out their pain and strife;
you made us for yourself alone,
but we choose alien life.
Our goals are pleasure, gold and power;
injustice stalks our earth;
in vain we seek for rest, for joy,
for sense of human worth.
2 Yet still you walk our streets, O Christ!
We know your presence here
where humble Christians love and serve
in godly grace and fear.
O Word made flesh, be seen in us!
May all we say and do
affirm you God Incarnate still
and turn sad hearts to you!
3 Your people are your hands and feet
to serve your world today,
our lives the book our cities read
to help them find your way.
O pour your sovereign Spirit out
on heart and will and brain:
inspire your church with love and power
to ease our cities’ pain!
4 O healing Saviour, Prince of Peace,
salvation’s source and sum,
for you our broken cities cry:
Oh come, Lord Jesus, come!
With truth your royal diadem,
with righteousness your rod,
oh come, Lord Jesus, bring to earth
the city of our God! Topics: Church Body of Christ; City / City of God; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior; Jesus Christ Prince of Peace; One Life in Christ Justice; Repentance; Righteousness; Servant / Service Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English Tune Title: THE THIRD TUNE

When Rising from the Bed of Death
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7335 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. When rising from the bed of death,
O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear,
I see my maker face to face,
O how shall I appear?
2. If yet, while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought,
My heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought;
3. When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgment on my soul,
O how shall I appear?
4. But Thou hast told the troubled mind
Who does her sins lament,
The timely tribute of her tears
Shall endless woe prevent.
5. Then see the sorrow of my heart,
Ere yet it be too late;
And hear my Savior’s dying groans,
To give those sorrows weight.
6. For never shall my soul despair
Her pardon to procure,
Who knows Thine only Son has died
To make her pardon sure. Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY
When Rising from the Bed of Death
When, rising from the bed of death
Author: J. Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: The English Hymnal #92 (1906) Hymnal Title: The English Hymnal Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY
When, rising from the bed of death
To mock your reign, O dearest Lord
Author: F. Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #170 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Hymnal 1982 Lyrics: 1. To mock your reign, O dearest Lord,
they made a crown of thorns;
set you with taunts along that road
from which no one returns.
They did not know, as we do now,
that glorious is your crown;
that thorns would flower upon your brow,
your sorrows heal our own.
2. In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord,
they snatched a purple cloak,
your passion turned, for all they cared,
into a soldier's joke.
They did not know, as we do now,
that though we merit blame
you will your robe of mercy throw
around our naked shame.
3. A sceptered reed, O patient Lord,
they thrust into your hand,
and acted out their grim charade
to its appointed end.
They did not know, as we do now,
though empires rise and fall,
your Kingdom shall not cease to grow
till love embraces all. Languages: English Tune Title: THE THIRD TUNE
To mock your reign, O dearest Lord
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #692 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The Hymnal 1982 Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
and in your weariness lay down
your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
and he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in him my Star, my Sun;
and in that light of life I'll walk
till pilgrim days are done. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: THE THIRD TUNE

How shall I sing that majesty
Author: John Mason, c. 1645-1694 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #373 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Hymnal Title: The New English Hymnal Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty
Which angels do admire?
Let dust in dust and silence lie;
Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.
Thousands of thousands stand around
Thy throne, O God most high;
Ten thousand times ten thousand sound
Thy praise; but who am I?
2 Thy brightness unto them appears,
Whilst I thy footsteps trace;
A sound of God comes to my ears,
But they behold thy face.
They sing because thou art their Sun;
Lord, send a beam on me;
For where heaven is but once begun
There alleluyas be.
3 Enlighten with faith’s light my heart,
Inflame it with love’s fire;
Then shall I sing and bear a part
With that celestial choir.
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold,
With all my fire and light;
Yet when thou dost accept their gold,
Lord, treasure up my mite.
4 How great a being, Lord, is thine,
Which doth all beings keep!
Thy knowledge is the only line
To sound so vast a deep.
Thou art a sea without a shore,
A sun without a sphere;
Thy time is now and evermore,
Thy place is everywhere. Topics: Trinity Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY
How shall I sing that majesty
