The sweet compassion of thy face.

A-bove the noise of self-ish strife, We hear thy voice, O Son of man!
From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of thy tears.
Yet long these multi-tudes to see
A-mong these rest-less throngs a bide,
Till glo-rious from thy heaven above,

O tread the cit-y's streets a-gain;
Shall come the city of our God. A-MEN.

Ring out the dark-ness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be.
