City of God, Jerusalem

Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Hymnal: RitualSong #486 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.7.8.6.12.8 Topics: Exile Lyrics: 1 City of God, Jerusalem, Where he has set his love; Church of Christ that is one on earth With Jerusalem above: Here as we walk this changing world Our joys are mixed with tears, But the day will be soon when the Savior returns And his voice will banish our fears. 2 Sing and be glad, Jerusalem, For God does not forget; He who said he would come to save Never failed his people yet. Though we are tempted by despair And daunted by defeat, Our invincible Lord will be seen in his strength, And his triumph will be complete. 3 Sorrow no more, Jerusalem, Discard your rages of shame! Take your crown as a gift from God Who has called you by his name. Put off your sin, and wear the robe Of glory in its place; You will shine in his light, you will share in his joy, You will praise his wonderful grace. 4 Look all around, Jerusalem, Survey from west to east; Sons and daughters of God the king Are invited to his feast. Out of their exile far away His scattered fam'ly come, And the streets will resound with the songs of the saints When the Savior welcomes us home.
