The Fathers Built This City
Author: William G. Tarrant Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 42 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: ALFORD

The Lord in Zion Reigneth
Author: Fanny J. Crosby (1826-1915) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #7 (1985) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 The Lord in Zion reigneth,
Let all the world rejoice,
And come before His throne of grace
With tuneful heart and voice;
The Lord in Zion reigneth,
And there His praise shall ring,
To Him shall princes bend the knee
And kings their glory bring.
2 The Lord in Zion reigneth,
And who so great as He?
The depths of earth are in His hands;
He rules the mighty sea,
O crown His name with honor,
And let His standard wave,
Till distant isles beyond the deep
Shall own His power to save.
3 The Lord in Zion reigneth,
These hours to Him belong;
O enter now His temple gates,
And fill His courts with song;
Beneath His royal banner
Let every creature fall,
Exalt the King of heaven and earth,
And crown Him Lord of all. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Tune Title: [The Lord in Zion reigneth, Let all the world rejoice]

Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Author of "The Beautiful Bright Sunshine" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Small Church Music
Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Editors: Godfrey Thring Description:
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo
and pitch to suit their local needs.
Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted. For permission to use them for any other purposes, please contact manager@hymnary.org.
