Author: Samuel Johnson Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #319 (1957) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 City of God, how broad and far
Outspread thy walls sublime!
The true thy chartered freemen are
Of every age and clime.
2 One holy Church, one army strong,
One steadfast high intent,
One working band, one harvest song,
One King Omnipotent!
3 How purely hath thy speech come down
From man's primeval youth;
How grandly hath thine empire grown
Of freedom, love, and truth!
4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night,
With never-fainting ray;
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
To meet the dawning day!
5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
In vain, the drifting sands;
Unharmed upon th'Eternal Rock
Th'eternal city stands.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 48:2 Tune Title: GRÄFENBERG
