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 Birth Of Our Savior

Author: James R. Murray Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: And, as in olden days Lyrics: 1 And, as in olden days, The angels went before To speak the coming of the Lord, So now, and evermore, The angels of His love Go on before His face, To find, in humble, lowly hearts, For Him a dwelling place. 2 So, in our youthful hearts, May Christ the Savior come; Though poor and small the place for Him, Yet there may be His home. By doing kindly deeds, By loving self the least, Christ may be born in every heart As in the ancient East. 3 So, over all your hearts May shine the star so fair, The light of heavenly truth, and love, To show the Lord is here. And may we bring to Him, As wise men did of old, The gift of earnest, loving souls, More precious far than gold. 4 Thus, like the wicked king, Our sins do seek to kill The holy things within our minds, And all good thoughts to still. But if we try to love Our Savior and His ways, He’ll send an angel from above To guard us all our days. 5 So, if we strive aright, To do the Master’s will, Our wrong desires and thoughts will die, And good our bosoms fill. Thus may we overcome Our sins on every hand, Till, guided by the angels bright, We reach the promised land. Used With Tune: SEYCHELLES Text Sources: The Prize by George F.
