194   Sing We of the Modern City




[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!
