Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1850 - 1935 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #351 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear thy voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of thy tears. A-men.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
From woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
Thy heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for thee
Stills holds the freshness of thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of thy face.
5 O Master, from the mountain side,
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again;
6 Till sons of men shall learn thy love,
And follow where thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from thy heaven above,
Shall come the city of our God.
Amen.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #393 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: City of God Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for his own abode;
on the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2 See the streams of living water
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove;
who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst to assuage,
grace which, like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Blest inhabitants of Zion,
washed in their Redeemer's blood,
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
makes them kings and priests to God.
'Tis his love his people raises
over self to reign as kings,
and as priests, his solemn praises
each for a thank-off'ring brings.
4 Savior, if of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity--
I will glory in thy name;
fading are the worldling's pleasures,
all their boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion's children know.
Scripture: Psalm 46:4 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH

O Thou Not Made with Hands
Author: F.T. Palgrave Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #403 (1985) Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Topics: City of God Lyrics: 1 O thou not made with hands,
not throned above the skies,
nor walled with shining walls,
nor framed with stones of price,
more bright than gold or gem,
God's own Jerusalem!
2 Where'er the gentle heart
finds courage from above;
where'er the heart forsook
warms with the breath of love,
where faith bids fear depart,
City of God, thou art.
3 Thou art where'er the proud
in humbleness melts down,
where self itself yields up,
where martyrs win their crown,
where faithful souls possess
themselves in perfect peace.
4 Where in life's common ways
with cheerful feet we go,
when in his steps we tread
who trod the way of woe,
where he is in the heart,
City of God, thou art.
5 Not throned above the skies,
nor golden-walled afar,
but where Christ's two or three
in his name gathered are,
be in the midst of them,
God's own Jerusalem!
Scripture: Matthew 5:3 Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 120TH

called to the risk of unprotected living,
willing to be at one with all your people,
we ask for courage.
2 For all the strain with living interwoven,
for the demands each day will make upon us,
and for the love we owe the modern city,
Lord, make us cheerful.
3 Give us an eye for openings to serve you;
make us alert when calm is interrupted,
ready and wise to use the unexpected;
sharpen our insight.
4 Life from our life the blanket of convention;
give us the nerve to lose ourselves to others;
be with your church in death and resurrection,
God of all ages. Languages: English Tune Title: LOBET DEN HERREN

the source of love and pity,
we bring in prayer and penitence
the countryside and city;
the poverty that troubles both,
the vanity that fools us,
the walls that keep our lives apart,
the ignorance that rules us.
2 As once you walked in Galilee,
and learned its paths and valleys,
or met within Jerusalem
the crowds from streets and alleys;
so help us learn our age's needs
and meet those needs with caring,
your world and people see in all,
your love and gospel sharing.
3 Lord, let us never pass our days
indifferent to others;
or build up walls that hide from sight
our sisters and our brothers;
through windows barred and shuttered tight
how can your sunshine reach us?
O make us open to your truth,
your love and service teach us!
4 May all the darkness we have made
and sins that have controlled us
fade in the glory of your light,
and your strong love enfold us.
Bring us to new Jerusalem,
your Bride from heaven descending,
the City of the Father's peace
and joy that has no ending. Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Languages: English Tune Title: BUGEILIO'R GWENITH GWYN

those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see,
crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest:
God shall be all and in all ever blest.
2 Truly, "Jerusalem" name we that shore,
city of peace that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment are not severed there,
nor do things prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing,
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
4 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh,
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
5 Low before God with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
of whom, the Father, and through whom, the Son,
in whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
