Sheet music
- 1Where 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!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.
- 2The cup of water giv’n for TheeStill holds the freshness of Thy grace;Yet long these multitudes to seeThe sweet compassion of Thy face.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.
