O holy city, seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #711 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice 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 Oh 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 splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare–
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there. Scripture: Hebrews 11:10 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG
O holy city, seen of John
For the healing of the nations
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #736 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations,
Lord, we pray with one accord,
for a just and equal sharing
of the things that earth affords.
To a life of love in action
help us rise and pledge our word.
2 Lead us forward into freedom,
from despair your world release,
that, redeemed from war and hatred,
all may come and go in peace.
Show us how through care and goodness
fear will die and hope increase.
3 All that kills abundant living,
let it from the earth be banned,
pride of status, race or schooling,
dogmas that obscure your plan.
In our common quest for justice
may we hallow life’s brief span.
4 You, Creator God, have written
your great name on humankind;
for our growing in your likeness
bring the life of Christ to mind,
that, by our response and service,
earth its destiny may find. Scripture: Genesis 1:26 Languages: English Tune Title: GRAFTON
For the healing of the nations

Give thanks, my soul, for harvest
Author: William Watkins Reid, 1890- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #805 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice Lyrics: 1 Give thanks, my soul, for harvest,
for store of fruit and grain,
but know the owner gives us
that we may share again;
where souls are lone and hungry,
where needy children cry,
with gifts from God’s rich bounty
may thankfulness reply.
2 Give thanks, my soul, for riches
of woodland, mine and hill,
but know that gold and timber
are the Creator's still,
and God's on loan to stewards
to fashion and to share,
providing all earth's children
the blessing of God's care.
3 Give thanks, my soul, for labours
that strength and days employ,
but know your Maker's purpose
brings toil as well as joy.
Where leads the path to error,
where justice lies in chain,
where hoarders cause new hunger,
there must we strive again.
4 Give thanks, my soul, for beauty,
for vision, hope and skill,
for Christ, divine revealer
of God's redeeming will.
Show forth, O God, your purpose;
direct our will and hand
to share your love and bounty
with all, in every land. Scripture: Psalm 50:10-11 Languages: English Tune Title: CRÜGER
Give thanks, my soul, for harvest

praise God for the people who gather their yield,
the long hours of labor, the skills of a team,
the patience of science, the power of machine.

from market and harbor, the sea and the shore:
foods packed and transported, and gathered and grown
by God given neighbors, unseen and unknown.
3 Praise God for the harvest that's quarried and mined,
selected and smelted, or shaped and refined:
for oil and iron, for copper and coal,
praise God, who in love has provided them all.
4 Praise God for the harvest of science and skill,
the urge to discover, create, and fulfill:
for plans and inventions that promise to gain
a future more hopeful, a world more humane.

from leaders and peoples who struggle and serve
with patience and kindness, that all may be led
to freedom and justice, and all may be fed. Scripture: Genesis 8:22 Languages: English Tune Title: STOWEY
