HYMN FOR PENTECOST 12 Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Text: Frank North (1850-1935) Tune: William Gardiner (1770-1853) 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,

we catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from human grief and burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow
