Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank. M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 377 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.
