All Who Love and Serve Your City

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 wealth and plenty,
    Wasted work and wasted play,
    Call to mind the word of Jesus,
    "You must work while it is day."

3.  For all days are days of judgment,
    And the Lord is waiting still,
    Drawing near a world that spurns Him,
    Offering peace from Calvary's hill.

4.  Risen Lord, shall yet the city 
    Be the city of despair?
    Come today, our judge, our glory.
    Be its name "The Lord is there!"
