Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank. M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 368 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:42 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 dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to see
the true compassion of your face.
4 O Master, from the mountainside
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again
5 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.

Lord, lead the way the Savior went
Author: W. Crosswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:42 Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went,
By lane and cell obscure,
And let our treasures still be spent,
Like his, upon the poor.
2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight,
We, in their gloomy loneliness,
Would see the desolate.
3 For thou hast placed us side by side
In this wide world of ill;
And that thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
4 Small are the offerings we can make;
Yet thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Saviour's sake,
They lose not their reward.

of our life’s wild, restless sea,
day by day his voice is sounding,
saying, “Christian, follow me.”

by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and work and fam'ly,
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of work and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
“Christian, love me more than these.”
5 Jesus calls us; by your mercies,
Savior, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all. Topics: Invitation and Response; Christ--Grace and mercy of; Christ--Invitation of; Discipleship; Earthly concerns; Following Christ; Invitation and Response; Sin Used With Tune: GALILEE

O Jesus, I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 617 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
be now and ever near me,
my master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if you are by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if you will be my guide.
2 O let me feel you near me;
the world is ever near:
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear.
My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw still nearer
and shield my soul from sin!
3 O let me hear you speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
and speak to make me listen,
O guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, you have promised
to all who follow you
that where you are in glory
your servants shall be too.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve you to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my master and my friend. Topics: Invitation and Response; Assurance; Christ--Invitation of; Christian warfare; Covenant; Discipleship; Following Christ; Invitation and Response; Invitation and Response; Ordination; Temptation of believers; Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

Pattern of Forgiveness
Author: John H. Gurney Appears in 242 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 10:42 First Line: Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee,
And pray to be forgiven,
So let thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear;
Like thee, to do our Father's will,
Our brother's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell
As free and true as thine.
4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly,
And grief's dark day come on,
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father, thy will be done!"
5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
Forgiving and forgiven,
Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life,
And follow thee to heaven! Topics: Christ Character of; Christ Example of; Christ Humanity of; Christ Life on the Earth; Conformity; Cross of Christ Bearing Used With Tune: HELENA
