Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank M. North, 1850-1935 Appears in 377 hymnals 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 Thy 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 Thy tears. 3 The cup of water giv'n for Thee Stills holds the freshness of Thy grace; Yet long these multitudes to see The sweet compassion of Thy face. 4 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; 5 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.

Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Amen. Topics: Church Her Faith; Dedication of Building; Unity, Christian Used With Tune: AURELIA

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears, 1810-1876 Appears in 905 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heav'n's all-gracious King": The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heav'nly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lonely plains They bend on hovering wing: And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. 3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. 4 For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold, When, with the ever-circling years, Comes round the age of gold: When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing. Amen. Topics: Christ Birth of; Jesus Christ the Savior Christmas Used With Tune: CAROL
