pictured by the seers of old:
everlasting light shines o'er it,
wondrous tales of it are told.
Wise and righteous men and women
dwell within its gleaming wall;
wrong is banished from its borders,
justice reigns supreme o'er all.
2 We are builders of that city.
All our joys and all our groans
help to rear its shining ramparts;
all our lives are building stones.
Whether humble or exalted,
all are called to task divine;
all must aid alike to carry
forward one sublime design.
3 And the work that we have builded,
oft with bleeding hands and tears,
oft in error, and in anguish,
will not perish with our years:
it will live and shine transfigured
in the final reign of right:
it will merge into the splendors
of the city of the light. Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL

O everlasting Word,
O everlasting Word. Languages: English Tune Title: BENNINGTON

Forward Through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #114 (1993) Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Commitment and Action Lyrics: 1 Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine:
gifts in differing measure,
hearts of one accord,
manifold the service,
one the sure reward.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
2 Wider grows the vision,
realm of love and light;
for it we must labor,
till our faith is sight.
Prophets have proclaimed it,
martyrs testified,
poets sung its glory,
heroes for it died.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.
3 Not alone we conquer,
not alone we fall;
in each loss or triumph
lose or triumph all.
Bound by God’s far purpose
in one living whole,
move we on together
to the shining goal.
Forward through the ages,
in unbroken line,
move the faithful spirits
at the call divine.

remove and pass away,
like shadows of the morning
before the blaze of day.
Let all that now unites us
more sweet and lasting prove,
a closer bond of union,
in a blessed land of love.

come with your cheering ray!
Yet shall the promise beckon
and lead us not astray.
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on
to pray, and hope, and labor,
till all our work is done.

but trusts the dawning future more;
and bids the soul, in search of truth,
adventure boldly and explore.

your liberating ministry;
go forward in the power of love,
proclaim the truth that makes us free. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER NEW

Who Would True Valor See
Author: John Bunyan, 1628-1688 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #106 (1993) Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Exemplars and Pioneers Lyrics: 1 Who would true valor see,
let them come hither;
one here will constant be,
come wind, come weather;
there's no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.
2 Whoso beset me 'round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound;
his strength the more is.
No lion can him fright,
I'll with a giant fight,
but I shall have a right
to be a pilgrim.
3 No word of foe or friend
can daunt my spirit;
I know I at the end
will life inherit.
Then fancies fly away;
I'll fear not what they say;
I'll labor night and day
to be a pilgrim. Languages: English Tune Title: MONK'S GATE

All Whose Boast It Is
Author: James Russell Lowell, 1819-1891 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #150 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Words and Deeds of Prophetic Women and Men Freedom First Line: All whose boast it is that we Lyrics: 1 All whose boast it is that we
come of forebears brave and free,
if there breathe on earth a slave,
are we truly free and brave?
If we do not feel the chain
when it works another’s pain,
are we not base slaves indeed,
slaves unwilling to be freed?
2 Is true freedom but to break
fetters for our own dear sake,
and with leathern hearts forget
we owe humankind a debt?
No, true freedom is to share
all the chains that others wear,
and, with heart and hand, to be
earnest to make others free.
3 They are slaves who fear to speak
for the fallen and the weak;
they are slaves who will not choose
hatred, scoffing, and abuse,
rather than in silence shrink
from the truth they needs must think.
They are slaves who dare not be
in the right with two or three. Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
