Where Cross the Crowded Ways

Author: Rev. F. M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 377 hymnals Topics: Means of Grace Missions First Line: Where cross the crowded ways of life 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 haunted 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. 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. 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 sons of men shall learn Thy love, And follow where Thy feet have trod; Till glorious from Thy heav'n above, Shall come the City of our God. Used With Tune: GERMANY

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,690 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though ev'ry prospect pleases And only man is vile: In vain, with lavish kindness, The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted By wisdom from on high-- Shall we to man benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story; And you, ye waters, roll Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, Returns in bliss to reign. Amen. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

Gentiles and Jews, His laws obey, Nations remote their off'rings bring, And unconstrained their homage pay To their exalted God and King. 4. O may His holy Church increase, His Word and Spirit still prevail, While angels celebrate His praise, And saints His growing glories hail. 5. Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, From all below, and all above; In lofty songs exalt His name,-- In songs as lasting as His love. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

People and realms, of ev'ry tongue, Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Names. 4.
