Come, let us rememberthe joys of the town:
gay cars and bright busesthat roar up and down,
shop-windows and playgrounds and swings in the park,
and street-lamps that twinklein rows after dark.

And let us rememberthe chorus that swells
from hooters and hammersand whistles and bells,
from fierce-panting enginesand clear-striking clocks,
and sirens of vesselsafloat in the docks.

Come, let us now lift up our voices in praise, and to the Creator
a thanksgiving raise, for towns with their buildings
of stone, steel, and wood, for people who love them and work for their good.

{Final verse}
We thank you, O God, forthe numberless things
and friends and adventureswhich every day brings.
O may we not restuntil all that we do
in towns and in citiesis pleasing to you.
