Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Topic: Mission of the Church
Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 2
From tender childhood's helplessness, From human grief and burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow's stress, Your heart has never known recoil.
Verse 3
The cup of water giv'n for You Still holds the freshness of Your grace; Yet long these multitudes to view The strong compassion in Your face.
Verse 4
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;
Verse 5
Till all the world shall learn Your love, And follow where Your feet have trod; Till glorious from Your heav'n above, Shall come the city of our God.
