King Of The City Splendid,
Eternal In The Height,
May All Our Country’s Cities
Grow Holy In Thy Sight;
Cleansed From The Deeds Of Darkness
Cities Of Light.
Teach Love To Gladden Children
That Know Not Childhood’s Mirth,
Wronged Of Their Rights No Beauty
In Their Scant Reach Of Earth;
To Hope’s Large Sunshine Give Them
A Second Birth.
Give Joy To All The Joyless,
Song’s Voice To Sorrows Dumb,
May Light Invade With Blessing
Each Dark And Deathly Slum;
Into Earth’s Realms Of Horror
Thy Kingdom Come!
Soon May Our Country’s Cities
Thy Robe Of Glory Wear;
Each Place Of Toil A Temple,
Each House A Home Of Prayer;
Each City’s Name Of Beauty
The Lord Is There!
