City of God, how broad and far

Author: Rev. Samuel Johnson Hymnal: The Hymnal #338 (1950) 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 How purely hath thy speech come down From man's primeval youth; How grandly hath thine empire grown Of freedom, love, and truth! 3 How gleam thy watch fires through the night With never-fainting ray! How rise thy towers, serene and bright, To meet the dawning day! 4 In vain the surge's angry shock, In vain, the drifting sands: Unharmed upon th' eternal Rock Th' eternal city stands. Amen.

Thy kingdom come on bended knee

Author: F. L. Hosmer, 1840- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #354 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come on bended knee The passing ages pray; And faithful souls have yearned to see On earth that kingdom's day. 2 And lo! already on the hills The flags of dawn appear; Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls, Proclaim the day is near: 3 The day in whose clear-shining light All wrong shall stand revealed, When justice shall be clothed with might, And every hurt be healed. 4 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace, Shall walk the earth abroad, The day of perfect righteousness, The promised day of God.
