Fm             Bbm6   C7
Sing we of the modern city,

Fm Db Bbm7 C2 C
Scene alike of joy and stress;

Fm Bbm6 C7
Sing we of its nameless people

Fm Db Fm C7 Fm
In their ur-ban wil-der-ness.

F Dm Gm C7
Into end-less rows of houses

F Dm Bb Gm C2 C
Life is set a mil-lion-fold,

F Dm Gm C7
Life expressed in human beings

F Dm7 F C7 F
Daily born and grow-ing old.
[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] 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. [Verse 2] In the city full of people, World of speed and hectic days, In the ever-changing 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. [Verse 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!
