O Holy City, Seen of John
O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #726 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again.
2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 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!”
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose crown is servanthood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
5 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.

O Holy City, Seen of John
We've no abiding city here
Author: Kelly Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #962 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: An Abiding City Lyrics: 1 We've no abiding city here:
Sad truth, were this to be our home;
But let this thought our spirits cheer,--
We seek a city yet to come.
2 We've no abiding city here:
Then let us live as pilgrims do;
Let not the world our rest appear,
But let us haste from all below.
3 We've no abiding city here:
We seek a city out of sight;
Zion its name--the Lord is there;
It shines with everlasting light.
Scripture: Psalm 107:7

The City Is Alive, O God
Author: William W. Reid Jr Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #278 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: City Lyrics: 1 The city is alive, O God,
with sound of hustling feet,
with rapid change and flashing lights
that pulse through every street;
but oft there's inhumanity
behind the bright facade,
and throngs with empty, hungering hearts
cry out for help, O God.
2 Is it your will, O loving God,
that races live in strife,
that loneliness and greed and hate
should mark a city's life?
Do you desire one person's wealth
to keep another poor?
Must crime and slums and lust abound?
O Lord, is there no cure?
3 In Galilee the people heard
your servant Christ declare
through healing touch, through word and cross,
the good news of your care.
He said your heart touched every heart
that longed for peace and right,
that those bowed down by burdens borne
could find your life, your light.
4 O God, inspire your church today
to take Christ's servant role,
to love the world, to hear its claims
to sense its yearning soul,
to live within the marketplace,
to serve both weak and strong,
to lose itself, to share its dream,
to give the world its song. Scripture: Matthew 10:39 Languages: English Tune Title: STAR OF COUNTY DOWN
The City Is Alive, O God
A city radiant as a bride
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Common Praise #364 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The City Lyrics: 1 A city radiant as a bride
and bright with gold and gem,
a crystal river clear and wide,
the new Jerusalem;
a city wrought of wealth untold,
her jewelled walls aflame
with green and amethyst and gold
and colours one can name.
2 A holy city, clear as glass,
where saints in glory dwell;
through gates of pearl her people pass
to fields of asphodel.
In robes of splendour, pure and white,
they walk the golden floor,
where God himself shall be their light
and night shall be no more.
3 A city ever new and fair,
the Lamb's eternal bride;
no suffering or grief is there
and every tear is dried.
There Christ prepares for us a place,
from sin and death restored,
and we shall stand before his face,
the ransomed of the Lord. Scripture: Isaiah 35:2 Languages: English Tune Title: LADYWELL

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

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. Tune Title: MORWELLHAM
