Sing We of the Golden City
Author: Felix Adler Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing we of the Golden City,
Pictured in the legends old:
Everlasting light shines o’er it,
Wondrous things of it are told.
Only righteous men and women
Dwell within its gleaming walls,
Wrong is banished from its borders,
Justice reigns through all its halls.
2 We are builders of that City,
All our joys and all our groans
Help to rear its shining ramparts;
All our lives are building-stones.
For that City we must labor,
For its sake bear pain and grief;
In it find the end of living
And the anchor of belief.
3 And the work that we have builded,
Oft with bleeding hands, and tears,
Oft in error, oft in anguish,
Will not perish with our years.
It will last, and shine transfigured,
In the final reign of right;
It will pass into the splendors
Of the City of the Light. Used With Tune: HUNTINGTON
Sing We of the Golden City
Father Most Merciful! Glad in the Dawning
Author: Marianne Hearn Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father most merciful! Glad in the dawning
All things awake to sing praises to thee;
Thou art the giver of joy in the morning,
Spreading thy sunlight o’er meadow and sea.
2 Bright birds soar up in the thin air to greet thee,
Sweet-scented blossoms look forth for thy face;
Thy children go out into daylight to meet thee,
Finding thy footprints in every new place.
3 Father most merciful, give for our guerdon
Joy in thy presence whate’er may befall,
Courage to fight, or to carry the burden,
Faith to be cheerful and quiet through all. Used With Tune: CLARE MARKET
Father Most Merciful! Glad in the Dawning
