Where he has set his love;
Church of Christ that is one on earth
With Jerusalem above:
Here as we walk this changing world
Our joys are mixed with tears,
But the day will be soon when the Savior returns
And his voice will banish our fears.
2 Sing and be glad, Jerusalem,
For God does not forget;
He who said he would come to save
Never failed his people yet.
Though we are tempted by despair
And daunted by defeat,
Our invincible Lord will be seen in his strength,
And his triumph will be complete.
3 Sorrow no more, Jerusalem,
Discard your rages of shame!
Take your crown as a gift from God
Who has called you by his name.
Put off your sin, and wear the robe
Of glory in its place;
You will shine in his light, you will share in his joy,
You will praise his wonderful grace.
4 Look all around, Jerusalem,
Survey from west to east;
Sons and daughters of God the king
Are invited to his feast.
Out of their exile far away
His scattered fam'ly come,
And the streets will resound with the songs of the saints
When the Savior welcomes us home. Scripture: Baruch 4 Languages: English Tune Title: PURPOSE

the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose ways is brotherhood,
and where the sun that shineth is

Never fails from age to age.

a vision of the world to come:
a radiant city filled with light,
where you with us will make your home;
where neither grief nor pain shall dwell,
since former things have passed away,
and where they need no sun nor moon;
your glory lights eternal day.
2 Our cities wear great shrouds of pain;
beneath our gleaming towers of wealth
the homeless crouch in rain and snow,
the poor cry out for strength and health.
Youth’s hope is dimmed by ignorance;
unwilling, workers idled stand;
indifference walks unheeding by
as hunger stretches out its hand.
3 Come, Lord, make real John’s vision fair;
come, dwell with us, make all things new;
we try in vain to save our world
unless our help shall come from you.
Come, strengthen us to live in love;
bid hatred, greed, injustice cease.
Your glory all the light we need,
let all our cities shine forth peace. Tune Title: CANDLER

There's no death, no pain, nor fears;
And they count not time by years,
For there is "no night there."
2. All the gates of pearl are made,
In "the city four-square,"
All the streets with gold are laid,
And there is "no night there." [Chorus]
3. And the gates shall never close
To "the city four-square,"
There life's crystal river flows,
And there is "no night there." [Chorus]
4. There they need no sunshine bright,
In "that city four-square,"
For the Lamb is all the light,
And there is "no night there." [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [In the land of fadeless day]
No Night There

My Life Flows On
Author: Robert Lowry Hymnal: Voices United #716 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: A New Heaven and A New Earth Completion of Creation and City of God; City/City of God First Line: My life flows on in endless song Lyrics: 1 My life flows on in endless song;
above earth’s lamentation,
I hear the sweet, though far off hymn
that hails a new creation.
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing:
It finds an echo in my soul --
how can I keep from singing?
2 What though my joys and comforts die?
My Saviour still is living.
What though the shadowss gather round?
A new song Christ is giving.
No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I'm clinging:
since Love commands both heaven and earth,
how can I keep from singing?
3 When tyrants tremble, sick with fear,
and hear their death knells ringing:
when friends rejoice both far and near,
how can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile
our thoughts to them are winging:
when friends by shame are undefiled,
how can I keep from singing?
4 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
and day by day this pathway smooths,
since first I learned to love it.
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
a fountain ever springing:
all things are mine since I am Christ's --
how can I keep from singing? Languages: English Tune Title: HOW CAN I KEEP FROM SINGING
My Life Flows On
