Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #721 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Judgement 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
All who love and serve your city
