Where cross the crowded ways of life

Author: Frank Mason North, 1850 - 1935 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #351 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 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. A-men. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, From woman's grief, man's burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow's stress, Thy heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for thee Stills holds the freshness of thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see The sweet compassion of thy face. 5 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; 6 Till sons of men shall learn thy love, And follow where thy feet have trod; Till glorious from thy heaven above, Shall come the city of our God. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON (GERMANY)

A-men. 3 O holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour, To thee we owe the peace that still prevails; Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales. 4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver, Thine is the quickening power that gives increase; From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river, Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace. 5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring, Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days; Pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring Thy love and favor, kept to us always.
