Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Scripture: Luke 10:27 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.
