194- Sing We of the Modern City
Jesus Christ: Love of Christ for Us
1
- Sing we of the modern city,
- Scene alike of joy and stress;
- Sing we of its namelss people
- In their urban wilderness.
- Into endless rows of houses
- Life is set a millionfold,
- Life expressed in human beings
- Daily born and growing old.
2
- In the city full of people,
- World of speed and hectic days,
- In the everchanging setting
- Of the latest trend and craze,
- Christ is present, and among us;
- In the crowd we see Him stand.
- In the bustle of the city
- Jesus Christ is every man.
3
- God is not remote in heaven,
- But on earth to share our shame,
- Changing graph and mass and number
- Into persons with a name.
- Christ has shown, beyond statistics,
- Human life with glory crowned,
- By His timeless presence proving
- People matter, people count!
