Author: Erik Routley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #433 (1989) 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,
"Work ye yet 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,
offering peace from Calvary'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!"
