Praise to Thee, O God, for Cities

Author: Rolland W. Schloerb Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-10 Lyrics: 1 Praise to Thee, O God, for cities; Praise for sturdy pioneers, Men whose toil and faith undaunted Built our cities through the years: Theirs to wrestle with the forest For man's future dwelling place: Theirs to change the lonely prairie Into homes for every race. 2 Praise to Thee for life together: Man's desire to share with friends Daily joys and aspirations While their common prayer ascends. Praise to Thee for throb of engine With its power to banish night, Taking warmth to countless shelters, Speeding songs for our delight. 3 Praise to Thee, O God, for cities Waking in the minds of men. Cities we have never builded, Glimpsed afar, beyond our ken. Praise to Thee for men now striving, Roused from their complacent rest, Strong to build these nobler cities Worthy or the Christian quest. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH

We Are Marching to Our Home

Author: Mrs. C. L. Shacklock Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 First Line: We're bound for the mansions of glory Lyrics: 1 We're bound for the mansions of glory, Prepared in the city of God, For all who have trusted in Jesus, Who follow the path that he trod. We go on our journey rejoicing, Our Father has hidden us come; We know that the feast is made ready, We know he will welcome us home. Chorus: We are marching to our home, Our beautiful, heav'nly home; We're a happy pilgrim band, We are marching to our home, Our beautiful, heav'nly home; We are singing his praises, On our way to the better land. 2 We think not of toil or of danger, As onward we press to the goal; Our steps are so tenderly guarded By Jesus, the hope of the soul. We'll rest on the banks of the river That flows thro' the kingdom of peace, We'll join in the song of the angels, - The anthem that never will cease. [Chorus] 3 Our Father in heaven has called us, And lest we should linger or stray, He sent the compassionate Savior, Our guide to the portals of day; And cleansed in his fountain of mercy, Our robes will be whiter than snow; We follow the steps of our Leader, We're singing his praise as we go. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We're bound for the mansions of glory]
