Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:23-24 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.

When Jesus Came Preaching

Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4 First Line: When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God With the love that has pow'r to persuade, The sick were made whole, both in body and soul, And even the demons obeyed. But he needed a few he could trust to be true, To share in his work from the start: When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God, God's gift to the humble of heart. 2 Since Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God, What a change in our lives he has made! How many have shared in the joy of their Lord, In self-giving have loved and obeyed! But let none of us doubt what religion's about, Or by what it is shamed and betrayed: Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God, Is the rule of life Jesus obeyed. 3 Still Jesus comes preaching the Kingdom of God In a world that is sick and afraid; His gospel has spread like the leaven in bread By the love that has a pow'r to persuade. So let none of us swerve from our mission to serve, That has made us his Church from the start, May Jesus, the light of the world, send us out In the strength of the humble of heart.
