As with gladness men of old

Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 641 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:24 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old did the guiding star behold, as with joy they hailed its light, leading onward, beaming bright; so, most gracious Lord, may we evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, to that lowly manger-bed, there to bend the knee before him whom heav'n and earth adore, so may we with willing feet ever seek thy mercy-seat. 3 As their precious gifts they laid, at thy manger roughly made, so may we with holy joy, pure, and free from sin's alloy, all our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee our heav'nly King. 4 Holy Jesu, ev'ry day keep us in the narrow way; and, when earthly things are past, bring our ransomed souls at last where they need no star to guide, where no clouds thy glory hide. 5 In the heav'nly country bright need they no created light, thou its light, its joy, its crown, thou its sun which goes not down; there for ever may we sing alleluias to our King.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 458 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:24 Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveler. 2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross, Is the Redeemer's great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the way of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. 4 Lord! let not all my hopes be vain; Create my heart entirely new,-- Which hypocrites could ne'er attain; Which false apostates never knew.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 372 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:34 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 your voice, O Son of Man. 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 sweet 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 the world shall learn your love, and follow where your feet have trod; till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.
