Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North; Ruth Duck Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #665 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Cities 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 sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the strong compassion of your face.
5 O Master, 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,
following where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your realm of light
shall come the city of our God. Languages: English Tune Title: GERMANY

Where Restless Crowds Are Thronging
Author: Thomas Curtis Clark Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #672 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Cities Lyrics: 1 Where restless crowds are thronging
along the city ways,
where pride and greed and turmoil
consume the fevered days,
where vain ambitions banish
all thoughts of praise and prayer,
the people’s spirits waver:
but thou, O Christ, art there.
2 In scenes of want and sorrow
and haunts of flagrant wrong,
in homes where kindness falters,
and strife and fear are strong,
in busy streets of barter,
in lonely thoroughfare,
the people’s spirits languish:
but thou, O Christ, art there.
3 O Christ, behold thy people;
they press on every hand!
Bring light to all the cities
of our beloved land.
May all our bitter striving
give way to visions fair
of righteousness and justice:
for thou, O Christ, art there. Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

The Voice of God is Calling
Author: John Haynes Holmes Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #666 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Cities Lyrics: 1 The voice of God is calling
to women and to men;
the voice once heard in Zion,
resounds on earth again:
whom shall I send to succor
my people in their need?
Whom shall I send to loosen
the bonds of shame and greed?
2 I hear my people crying
in slum and mine and mill;
no field or mart is silent,
no city street is still.
I see my people falling
in darkness and despair.
Whom shall I send to shatter
the fetters which they bear?
3 We heed, O God, your summons,
and answer: Here are we!
Send us upon your errand,
let us your servants be.
Our strength is dust and ashes,
our years a passing hour,
But you can use our weakness
to magnify your power.
4 From ease and plenty save us;
from pride of place absolve;
purge us of low desire;
lift us to high resolve;
take us, and make us holy;
teach us your will and way.
Speak, and behold! we answer;
command, and we obey! Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #709 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Cities Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
God, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for a blest abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
thou mayest smile at all thy foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint, while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing forth that God is near!
Thus deriving from our banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe we feed upon the manna
which God gives them when they pray. Scripture: Psalm 87 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIAN HYMN
