O holy city, seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals 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 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 hath died in vain!" 3 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. 4 Already in the mind of God that city riseth fair: lo, how its splendor challenges the souls that greatly dare— yea, bids us seize the whole of life and build its glory there.

From Bethlehem to Calvary

Author: Meredith Nicholson, 1866-1947 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. From Bethlehem to Calvary, The Savior’s journey lay; Doubt, unbelief, scorn, fear and hate Beset Him day by day, But in His heart He bore God’s love That brightened all the way. 2. O’er the Judean hills He walked, Serene and brave of soul, He sought the beaten paths of men, He touched and made them whole; He died at last for love of man, On Calvary’s darkened knoll. 3. He went with patient steps and slow, As one who scatters seed; Like a fierce hunger in His heart, He felt the world’s great need, And the negations Moses gave He changed to loving deed. 4. From Bethlehem to Calvary The world still follows on, E’en as the halt and blind of old Along His path were drawn; Through Calvary’s clouds they seek the light That led Him to the dawn.
