Sing We of the Modern City

1Sing we of the modern city, Scene alike of joy and stress; Sing we of its nameless people In their urban wilderness. Into endless rows of houses Christ has shown, beyond statistics, Human life with glory crowned.

2In the city full of people, World of speed and hectic days, In the ever-changing setting Of the latest trend and craze, Life is set a millionfold, In the crowd we see Him stand, Human life with glory crowned.

3God is not remote in heaven, But on earth to share our shame, Changing graph and mass and number Into persons with a name. Life expressed in human beings Daily born and growing old, By His timeless presence proving People matter, people count!
