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. Used With Tune: WALTON (GERMANY)
