God Is Working His Purpose Out

Author: Arthur Campbell Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Matching Instances: 25 Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year: God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where'er the church has gone, by the mouth of many messengers the call of God has come: Give ear to me, you continents; you isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 3 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world: fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is done in vain unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvesttide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

City of God, Jerusalem

Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.6.8.7.8.6.12.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 City of God, Jerusalem, 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.
