Where Cross the Crowded Ways

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 Thy voice, O Son of man! [Verse 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 [Verse 3] From tender childhood's helplessness From woman's grief, man's burdened toil From famished souls, from sorrow's stress Thy heart has never known recoil [Verse 4] The cup of water given for thee Stills holds the freshness of Thy grace; Yet long the multitudes to see The sweet compassion of Thy face [Verse 5] 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; [Verse 6] Till sons of men shall learn Thy love And follow where Thy feet have trod; Till glorious from Thy heaven above Shall come the city of our God
