Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1850 - 1935 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #351 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World 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. A-men.
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.
4 The cup of water given for thee
Stills holds the freshness of thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of thy face.
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;
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.
Amen.

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory
Author: William Croswell Doane, 1832 -1913 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #137 (1958) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days, who sittest throned in glory,
To thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;
Thy love has blessed the wide world’s wondrous story
With light and life since Eden’s dawning day.
2 O Holy Father, who hast led thy children
In all the ages with the fire and cloud
Through seas dry-shod, through weary wastes bewildering:
To thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed. A-men.
3 O holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour,
To thee we owe the peace that still prevails;
Stilling the rude wills of men’s wild behavior
And calming passion’s fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life-giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase;
From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river,
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring,
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days;
Pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor, kept to us always.

Sheds not its glorious ray,
Let there be light!

On thy redeeming wing
Healing and sight,
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,
O now to all mankind
Let there be light! A-men.

Life-giving, holy Dove,
Speed forth thy flight;
Move on the waters' face
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And in earth's darkest place
Let there be light!

Glorious Trinity,
Wisdom, Love, Might;
Boundless as ocean's tide,
Rolling in fullest pride,
Through the world, far and wide,
Let there be light!

Earth's sore burden doth remove;
How for ever, in its need,
Through his death the world is freed;

Man can will and do the right;

Word for which the nations long,
Spread abroad, until from night
All the world awakes to light.

One steadfast, high intent,
One working band, one harvest-song,
One King Omnipotent.

From man's primeval youth!
How grandly hath thine empire grown
Of freedom, love, and truth!
4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night
With never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
To meet the dawning day!
5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
In vain the drifting sands;
Unharmed upon the eternal Rock
The eternal city stands.

Stretching far o'er land and sea,
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to thee:
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword,
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to thee, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school,
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule. A-men.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living word,
For all heroes of the spirit,
Give we thanks to thee, O Lord.
4 God of justice, save the people
From the clash of race and creed,
From the strife of class and faction,
Make our nation free indeed;
Keep her faith in simple manhood
Strong as when her life began,
Till it find its full fruition
In the brotherhood of man!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVA
Not alone for mighty empire
