355- Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Christian Church: Mission of the Church

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

  • From tender childhood's helplessness,
  • From human grief and burdened toil,
  • From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
  • Your heart has never known recoil.

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.

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;

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.
