Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #697 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All who love and serve your city,
all who bear its daily stress,
all who cry for peace and justice,
all who curse and all who bless:
2 in your day of loss and sorrow,
in your day of helpless strife,
honor, peace, and love retreating,
seek the Lord, who is your life.
3 In your day of wealth and plenty,
wasted work and wasted play,
call to mind the word of Jesus,
"I must work while it is day."
4 For all days are days of judgment,
and the Lord is waiting still,
drawing near to all who spurn him,
off'ring peace from Calv'ry's hill.
5 Risen Lord, shall yet the city
be the city of despair?
Come today, our judge, our glory;
be its name, "The Lord is there!" Topics: Peace and Justice; Community, nation and world; Discipleship; Earthly concerns; Justice; Life in Christ; Social ministry Scripture: Jeremiah 29:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CHARLESTOWN
