Where cross the crowded ways of life

by Frank M. North (1850–1935)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 355.

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 woman’s grief, man’s 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 sweet compassion of 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 heaven above, shall come the city of our God.
