Where Restless Crowds Are Thronging
Author: Thomas Curtis Clark Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #672 (1995) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Where restless crowds are thronging
along the city ways,
where pride and greed and turmoil
consume the fevered days,
where vain ambitions banish
all thoughts of praise and prayer,
the people’s spirits waver:
but thou, O Christ, art there.
2 In scenes of want and sorrow
and haunts of flagrant wrong,
in homes where kindness falters,
and strife and fear are strong,
in busy streets of barter,
in lonely thoroughfare,
the people’s spirits languish:
but thou, O Christ, art there.
3 O Christ, behold thy people;
they press on every hand!
Bring light to all the cities
of our beloved land.
May all our bitter striving
give way to visions fair
of righteousness and justice:
for thou, O Christ, art there. Topics: God's World Justice and Righteousness; Cities; God: Righteousness; Jesus Christ: Presence; Justice; Righteousness Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

Henry Thomas Smart
1813 - 1879 Person Name: Henry T. Smart, 1813-1879 Composer of "LANCASHIRE" in Hymnal of the Church of God Henry Smart (b. Marylebone, London, England, 1813; d. Hampstead, London, 1879), a capable composer of church music who wrote some very fine hymn tunes (REGENT SQUARE, 354, is the best-known).
Smart gave up a career in the legal profession for one in music. Although largely self taught, he became proficient in organ playing and composition, and he was a music teacher and critic. Organist in a number of London churches, including St. Luke's, Old Street (1844-1864), and St. Pancras (1864-1869), Smart was famous for his extemporizations and for his accompaniment of congregational singing. He became completely blind at the age of fifty-two, but his remarkable memory enabled him to continue playing the organ. Fascinated by organs as a youth, Smart designed organs for important places such as St. Andrew Hall in Glasgow and the Town Hall in Leeds. He composed an opera, oratorios, part-songs, some instrumental music, and many hymn tunes, as well as a large number of works for organ and choir. He edited the Choralebook (1858), the English Presbyterian Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867), and the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal (1875). Some of his hymn tunes were first published in Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861).
