Glorious things of thee are spoken
Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #483 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: City / City of God Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
One whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for a wrong 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 waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear,
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near.
Thus they march, the pillar leading –
light by night and shade by day –
daily on the manna feeding
which God gives them when they pray.
4 Saviour, since of Zion's city
we, through grace, a part may claim,
let the world deride or pity,
we will glory in thy name.
Fading is all worldly pleasure,
all its boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Exodus 13:21-22 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: The Hymnbook #507 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: City, The; Kingdom of God on Earth, The City, The 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.
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
Still holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
5 O Master, from the mountainside,
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. Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Tune Title: GERMANY

Leader of faithful souls, and Guide
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #561 (1917) Topics: Heaven A City; Heaven A City Lyrics: 1 Leader of faithful souls, and Guide
Of all who travel to the sky,
Come, and with us, even us, abide,
Who would on Thee alone rely;
On Thee alone our spirits stay,
While held in life's uneven way.
2 Strangers and pilgrims here below,
This earth, we know is not our place;
But hasten through the vale of woe,
And, restless to behold Thy face,
Swift to our heavenly country move,
Our everlasting home above.
3 We've no abiding city here,
But seek a city out of sight;
Thither our steady course we steer,
Aspiring to the plains of light,
Jerusalem, the saints' abode,
Whose founder is the living God.
4 Through Thee, who all our sins hast borne,
Freely and graciously forgiven,
With songs to Zion we return,
Contending for our native heaven,
That palace of our glorious King,
We find it nearer while we sing.
5 Raised by the breath of love divine,
We urge our way with strength renewed;
The church of the first-born to join,
We travel to the mount of God;
With joy upon our heads arise,
And meet our Captain in the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: DURA

while love, almighty love, is near.

now may Israel truly say;
through great trials God has brought us
to the dawn of this new day.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
2 When God's people walked the desert,
hungry, thirsty, faint of heart,
God prepared for them a city,
gave them hope and took their part.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
3 Those who steer their ships through trouble,
ride the storm and plumb the deep,
reach at length their promised haven,
bless that grace which brings them sleep.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
4 Oh give thanks for all God's mercies:
fields are watered, crops are sown,
sheep and cattle fill the pastures,
babes in arms have safely grown.
All God's children,
praise the wonders God has done.
Scripture: Psalm 107:1-9 Languages: English Tune Title: WYLDE GREEN
Oh give thanks, for God is gracious
