O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: The Hymnbook #508 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The City, The Lyrics: 1 O Holy City, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
Within whose four-square walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again!
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry, "Christ hath died in vain"!
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood,
And where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That city riseth fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare—
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there.
Amen. Scripture: Revelation 21:2-4 Tune Title: MORNING SONG

Forward through the ages
"Forward!" be our watchword
Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal #369 (1950) Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 "Forward!" be our watchword,
Steps and voices joined;
Seek the things before us,
Not a look behind:
Burns the fiery pillar
At our army's head;
Who shall dream of shrinking,
By our Captain led?
Forward through the desert,
Through the toil and fight;
Jordan flows before us,
Zion beams with light!
2 Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth;
That fair home is ours:
Flash the streets with jasper,
Shine the gates with gold;
Flows the gladdening river,
Shedding joys untold.
Thither, onward thither,
In the Spirit's might;
Pilgrims to your country,
Forward into light!
3 To th' eternal Father
Loudest anthems raise,
To the Son, and Spirit,
Echo songs of praise,
To the Lord of glory,
Blessed Three in One,
Be by men and angels
Endless honor done.
Weak are earthly praises,
Dull the songs of night:
Forward into triumph,
Forward into light!
Amen. Tune Title: FORWARD
"Forward!" be our watchword
Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command
Author: Laura S. Copenhaver Hymnal: The Hymnal #379 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions Lyrics: 1 Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's commands,
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands,
Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring:
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
2 Through desert ways, dark fen, and deep morass,
Through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass,
Build ye the road, and falter not, nor stay;
Prepare across the earth the King's highway.
3 Where once the crooked trail in darkness wound
Let marching feet and joyous song resound,
Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing,
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
4 Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build,
To see the promise of the day fulfilled,
When war shall be no more and strife shall cease
Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.
Amen. Tune Title: NATIONAL HYMN
Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command
Lift up our hearts, O King of kings
Author: Rev. John Howard Masterman Hymnal: The Hymnal #405 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Lift up our hearts, O King of kings,
To brighter hopes and kindlier things;
To visions of a larger good,
And holier dreams of brotherhood.
2 Thy world is weary of its pain,
Of selfish greed and fruitless gain,
Of tarnished honor, falsely strong,
And all its ancient deeds of wrong.
3 Almighty Father, who dost give
The gift of life to all who live,
Look down on all earth's sin and strife,
And lift us to a holier life.
Amen. Tune Title: TRURO
Lift up our hearts, O King of kings
Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Rev. Frank Mason North Hymnal: The Hymnal #410 (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth The City Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear Thy voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of Thy tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
From woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
Thy heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for Thee
Still holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again,
6 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love,
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy heaven above
Shall come the City of our God.
Amen. Tune Title: GERMANY
Where cross the crowded ways of life
