Text: | Where cross the crowded ways of life |
Author: | Frank Mason North, 1850-1935 |
Tune: | ST BARTHOLOMEW |
Composer: | Henry Duncalf |
1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear thy voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of thy tears.
3 The cup of water given for thee
still holds the freshness of thy grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the strong compassion of thy face.
4 O Master, from the mountain-side
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
O tread the city's streets again:
5 Till all shall come to learn thy love,
and follow where thy feet have trod;
till glorious from thy heaven above
shall come the city of our God.
