Gospel - King Of The City Splendid lyrics

rate me

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!

<br />
