1. City of God, how broad and far
Outspread thy wall sublime!
The true thy chartered freemen are
Of every age and clime.
2. One holy Church, one army strong
One steadfast, high intent
One working band, one harvest song
One King omnipotent
3. How purely hath thy speech come down
From man’s primeval youth
How grandly hath thy empire grown
Of freedom, love and truth
4. In vain the surge’s angry shock
In vain the drifting sands
Unharmed upon th’Eternal rock
Th’Eternal city stands
