Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:20 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of clan and race, Above the noise of selfish strife, O Christ, we hear your voice of grace. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrows' stress, we know your heart does not recoil. 4 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; Yet long these multitudes to view the deep compassion of your face. 5 O Savior, from the mountainside, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again: 6 Till all shall learn compassion's might, And follow where your feet have trod, Till glorious from your realm of light Shall come the city of our God.

Show us how, through care and goodness, fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned: pride of status, race, or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness, bring the life of Christ to mind; that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.

Still on and on the anthems spread of alleluia voices; in concert with the holy dead, the warrior Church rejoices. 3 He comes, whose advent trumpet drowns the last of time's evangels, Immanuel, crowned with many crowns, the Lord of saints and angels. O Life, Light, Love, the great I AM, Triune, who changest never, the throne of God and of the Lamb is thine, and thine for ever.
