Oh what their joy and their glory must be
Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #608 (1997) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: City / City of God Lyrics: 1 Oh what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see,
crowns for the valiant, to weary ones rest:
God shall be all and in all ever blest.
2 Truly, "Jerusalem" name we that shore,
city of peace that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment are not severed there,
nor do things prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing,
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
4 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh,
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
5 Low before God with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
of whom, the Father, and through whom, the Son,
in whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
Scripture: Psalm 92 Languages: English Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA

Author: Peter Abelard; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #727 (1989) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1. O what their joy and their glory must be,
those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see;
crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be all, and in all ever blest.
2. Truly, "Jerusalem" name we that shore,
city of peace that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment are not severed there,
nor do things prayed for come short of the prayer.
3. There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
we the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
4. Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh;
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
5. Low before him with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son,
through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One.

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1860-1935 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #760 (1997) Topics: City / City of God Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Saviour, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
oh tread the city's streets again;
6 Till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heaven above,
shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON (FULDA)

Glorious Things
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Christ in Song #911 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal City of God First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God:
He whose word can not be broken
Formed thee for His own abode;
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake Thy sure repose?
With salvation's wall surrounded,
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.
2. See the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear and want remove;
Who can faint when such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3. Round each habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov'ring,
Showing that the Lord is near;
Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer's blood;
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to God.
4. Saviour, if of Zion's city
I, thro' grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy name;
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion's children know.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Christian Worship #87C (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: City of God Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
he whose word cannot be broken
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters
springing from eternal love
well supply thy sons and daughters
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever flows their thirst t'assuage—
grace, which, like the LORD, the giver,
never fails from age to age?
3 Round each habitation hov'ring,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a cov'ring,
showing that the LORD is near.
Thus they march, the pillar leading,
light by night and shade by day,
daily on the manna feeding
which he gives them when they pray.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I thro' grace a member am,
let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name.
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
all his boasted pomp and show;
solid joys and lasting treasure
none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEAN

It Is God Who Holds the Nations
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #495 (1985) Meter: 15.15.15.7 Topics: City of God First Line: It is God who holds the nations in the hollow of his hand Lyrics: 1 It is God who hold the nations in the hollow of his hand;
it is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land;
it is God who builds his City on the Rock and not on sand:
may the living God be praised!
2 It is God whose purpose summons us to use the present hour,
who recalls us to our senses when a nation's life turns sour;
in the discipline of freedom we shall know his saving power:
may the living God be praised!
3 When a thankful nation, looking back, has cause to celebrate
those who win our admiration by their service to the state,
when self-giving is a measure of the greatness of the great,
may the living God be praised!
4 God reminds us every sunrise that the world is ours on lease -
for the sake of life tomorrow may our love for it increase;
may all races live together, share its riches, be at peace:
may the living God be praised! Scripture: Esther 4:14 Languages: English Tune Title: VISION (Davies)
