Sing 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
Life
is set a million fold,
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 ever charging 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 providing
People
matter, people count!
