City Of God How Broad How Far (Tune - Richmond) 5-verses

[powertothebees]

Read about this hymn in C.S. Lewis's "The Great Divorce." Glad I checked it out! City of God, how broad and far outspread thy walls sublime! The true thy chartered freemen are of every age and clime. One holy Church, one army strong; one steadfast, high intent; one working band, one harvest song, one King omnipotent. How purely hath thy speech come down from man's primeval youth! How grandly hath thine empire grown of freedom, love and truth!
