Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 387 hymnals Topics: Social Justice 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 thy 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 thy tears. 3 The cup of water given for thee still holds the freshness of thy grace; yet long these multitudes to see the sweet compassion of thy face. 4 O Master, from the mountain side, make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again; 5 till all thy people know thy love, and follow where thy feet have trod; till glorious from thy heaven above shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Matthew 10:42 Used With Tune: GERMANY

Speak you to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; tell them that their sins I cover, and their warfare now is over. 2 For the herald's voice is calling in the desert far and near, bidding us to make repentance since the kingdom now is here. Oh that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; let the valleys rise in meeting and the hills bow down in greeting. 3 Make you straight what long was crooked; make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits God's holy reign, for the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that God's word is never broken.

O God of Every Nation

Author: William W. Reid Jr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Social Justice First Line: O God of every nation Lyrics: 1 O God of every nation, of every race and land, redeem the whole creation with your almighty hand. Where hate and fear divide us and bitter threats are hurled, in love and mercy guide us, and heal our strife torn world. 2 From search for wealth and power and scorn of truth and right, from trust in bombs that shower destruction through the night, from pride of race and nation and blindness to your way, deliver every nation, eternal God, we pray! 3 Lord, strengthen those who labor that all may find release from fear of rattling saber, from dread of war's increase. When hope and courage falter, Lord, let your voice be heard; with faith that none can alter, your servants undergird. 4 Keep bright in us the vision of days when war shall cease, when hatred and division give way to love and peace, till dawns the morning glorious when truth and justice reign, and Christ shall rule victorious o'er all the world's domain. Scripture: Psalm 47 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

There where the judges gather

Author: Henry Zylstra, 1909-1956 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Social Concerns / Social Justice Lyrics: 1 There where the judges gather, a greater takes the seat; "How long," God asks the judges, "will you pronounce deceit? How long show special favour to those of ill repute? How long neglect the orphan, the poor and destitute? 2 Deal justly with the needy; protect the powerless; deliver the afflicted from those who would oppress, but you are surely blinded; you do not understand; therefore foundations totter; injustice rocks the land." 3 God speaks: "I named you rulers, to serve the Most High God, but you shall die as mortals and perish by my rod." Arise, O God, in judgement, your sovereignty make known, for yours are all the nations; the peoples are your own. Scripture: Psalm 82 Used With Tune: MUNICH
