All who love and serve your city

Author: Erik Routley, 1917-1982 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 8:18-22, 9:1 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!"

And is no kind phisician nigh To ease the pain, and heal the wound, Ere life and hope for ever fly? 4 There is a great phisician near, Look up, O fainting soul, and live; See, in his heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give! 5 See in the Savior's dying blood Life, health, and bliss, abundant flow! 'Tis only this dear, sacred flood Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe. 6 Sin throws in vain its pointed dart, For here a sovereign Cure is found; A cordial for a fainting heart, A balm for every painful wound.
