Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #427 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Social Concerns 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. From tender childhood's helplessness, from woman's grief, man's 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! Scripture: Matthew 22:9 Languages: English Tune Title: GERMANY

For the Healing of the Nations

Author: Fred Kaan Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #428 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Social Concerns Lyrics: 1 For the healing of the nations, Lord, we pray with one accord; for a just and equal sharing of the things that earth affords; To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word, help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead us forward into freedom; from despair your world release, that, redeemed from war and hatred, all may come and go in peace. Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase, fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race, or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span, may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find, earth its destiny may find.

The Voice of God is Calling

Author: John Haynes Holmes Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #436 (1989) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Social Concerns Lyrics: 1. The voice of God is calling its summons in our day; Isaiah heard in Zion, and we now hear God say: "Whom shall I send to succor my people in their need? Whom shall I send to loosen the bonds of shame and greed? 2. "I hear my people crying in slum and mine and mill; no field or mart is silent, no city street is still. I see my people falling in darkness and despair. Whom shall I send to shatter the fetters which they bear?" 3. We heed, O Lord, your summons, and answer: Here are we! Send us upon your errand, let us your servants be. Our strength is dust and ashes, our years a passing hour; but you can use our weakness to magnify your power. 4. From ease and plenty save us; from pride of place absolve; purge us of low desire; lift us to high resolve; take us, and make us holy; teach us your will and way. Speak, and behold! we answer; command, and we obey! Scripture: Isaiah 6:8 Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRIONYDD

O Young and Fearless Prophet

Author: S. Ralph Harlow Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #444 (1989) Meter: 13.13.13.13 Topics: Social Concerns First Line: O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee Lyrics: 1. O young and fearless Prophet of ancient Galilee, thy life is still a summons to serve humanity; to make our thoughts and actions less prone to please the crowd, to stand with humble courage for truth with hearts uncowed. 2. We marvel at the purpose that held thee to thy course while ever on the hilltop before thee loomed the cross; thy steadfast face set forward where love and duty shone, while we betray so quickly and leave thee there alone. 3. O help us stand unswerving against war's bloody way, where hate and lust and falsehood hold back Christ's holy sway; forbid false love of country that blinds us to his call, who lifts above the nations the unity of all. 4. Stir up in us a protest against our greed for wealth, while others starve and hunger and plead for work and health; where homes with little children cry out for lack of bread, who live their years sore burdened beneath a gloomy dread. 5. O young and fearless Prophet, we need thy presence here, amid our pride and glory to see thy face appear; once more to hear thy challenge above our noisy day, again to lead us forward along God's holy way.
