All who love and serve your city
Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #721 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice Lyrics: 1 All who love and serve your city,
all who bear its daily stress,
all who cry for peace and justice,
all who curse and all who bless:
2 in your day of loss and sorrow,
in your day of helpless strife,
honour, peace and love retreating,
seek the Lord, who is your life.
3 In your day of wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
"You must work while it is day."
4 For all days are days of judgement,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near a world that spurns him,
offering peace from Calvary's hill.
5 Risen Lord, shall yet the city
be the city of despair?
Come today, our Judge, our Glory,
be its name “The Lord is there!" Scripture: Isaiah 55:6 Languages: English Tune Title: CHARLESTOWN

There where the judges gather
Author: Henry Zylstra, 1909-1956 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #51 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice Lyrics: 1 There where the judges gather,
a greater takes the seat;
"How long," God asks the judges,
"will you pronounce deceit?
How long show special favour
to those of ill repute?
How long neglect the orphan,
the poor and destitute?
2 Deal justly with the needy;
protect the powerless;
deliver the afflicted
from those who would oppress,
but you are surely blinded;
you do not understand;
therefore foundations totter;
injustice rocks the land."
3 God speaks: "I named you rulers,
to serve the Most High God,
but you shall die as mortals
and perish by my rod."
Arise, O God, in judgement,
your sovereignty make known,
for yours are all the nations;
the peoples are your own. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English Tune Title: MUNICH
There where the judges gather
