Where cross the crowded ways of life

Author: Frank Mason North, 1860-1935 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #760 (1997) Topics: One Life in Christ Mission 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 Saviour, from the mountain side, make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, oh 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.

Now direct our daily labour, lest we strive for self alone; born with talents, make us servants fit to answer at your throne. 3 Treasure too you have entrusted, gain through powers your Grace conferred. Ours to use for home and kindred, and to spread the gospel word. Open wide our hands in sharing, as we heed Christ's ageless call, healing, teaching and reclaiming, serving you by loving all.
