O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #613 (1995) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, does reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again.
2 O shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
cry “Christ has died in vain!”
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that has stayed
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways are your own ways,
And where the sun that blazes
is your grace for all our days.
4 Already in the mind of God
that city is prepared:
oh, how its splendor challenges
the souls that greatly dare,
Yes, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there. Topics: Biblical Names; City of God; Justice and Peace; Realm of God; Service; Year A New Year; Year B New Year; Year B All Saints; Year C New Year; Year C Easter 5 Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #711 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Scripture: Hebrews 11:10 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 Oh shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair
cry “Christ hath died in vain!”
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose crown is servanthood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair:
lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare–
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there. Topics: City / City of God; Jesus Christ Lamb of God; One Life in Christ Justice; Our Hope in God; Servant / Service; Social Concerns / Social Justice; Vision / Dream Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING SONG

Forward through the Ages
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #377 (1995) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Scripture: Hebrews 11 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.
Refrain:
Forward through the ages, in unbroken line,
Move the faithful spirits at the call divine.
2 Wide grows God's dominion,
reign of love and peace;
for it we must labor, till all strivings cease.
Prophets have proclaimed it, teachers testified,
poets sung its glory, martyrs for it died. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]

Blessèd city, heavenly Salem
Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #208 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: Hebrews 11:10 Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Blessèd city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move.
2 From celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashionèd.
3 Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,
they are open evermore;
and by virtue of his merits
thither faithful souls do soar,
who for Christ's dear name in this world
pain and tribulation bore.
4 Many a blow and biting sculpture
polished well those stones elect,
in their places now compacted
by the heavenly Architect,
who therewith hath willed for ever
that his palace should be decked.
PART TWO -
5 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the Head and corner-stone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
6 All that dedicated city,
dearly loved of God on high,
in exultant jubilation
pours perpetual melody,
God the One in Three adoring
in glad hymns eternally.
PART THREE -
7 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray,
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
8 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee for ever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.
Doxology: [To be sung at the end of any part,
or of the whole hymn]
Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three, and ever One,
consubstantial, co-eternal,
while unending ages run. Topics: Dedication Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER ABBEY
Blessèd city, heavenly Salem
