America, the Beautiful
Author: Katharine L. Bates Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #418 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Cities First Line: O beautiful for spacious skies Lyrics: 1 O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain,
for purple mountain majesties
above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea!
2 O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
whose stern, impassioned stress
a thoroughfare for freedom beat
across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
confirm thy soul in self-control,
thy liberty in law!
3 O beautiful for heroes proved
in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
till all success be nobleness.
and every gain divine!
4 O beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond the years
thine alabaster cities gleam,
undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
and crown thy good with brotherhood
from sea to shining sea! Scripture: Psalm 33:12 Languages: English Tune Title: MATERNA

The Voice of God is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #666 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Cities Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
to women and to men;
the voice once heard in Zion,
resounds on earth again:
whom shall I send to succor
my people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
the bonds of shame and greed?
2 I hear my people crying
in slum and mine and mill;
no field or mart is silent,
no city street is still.
I see my people falling
in darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
the fetters which they bear?
3 We heed, O God, your summons,
and answer: Here are we!
Send us upon your errand,
let us your servants be.
Our strength is dust and ashes,
our years a passing hour,
But you can use our weakness
to magnify your power.
4 From ease and plenty save us;
from pride of place absolve;
purge us of low desire;
lift us to high resolve;
take us, and make us holy;
teach us your will and way.
Speak, and behold! we answer;
command, and we obey! Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #709 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Cities Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
God, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for a blest abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou mayest smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing forth that God is near!
Thus deriving from our banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe we feed upon the manna
which God gives them when they pray. Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
