What Means This Eager, Anxious Throng
1. What means this eager, anxious throng
Which moves with busy haste along
These wondrous gatherings day by day
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by”
2. Who is this Jesus? Why should he
The city move so mightily?
A passing stranger, has He skill?
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by”.
3. Jesus! Tis He who once below.
Man’s pathway trod, mid pain and woe:
And burdened ones, where’er He came
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by”
4. Again He comes from place to place
His holy foot prints we can trace;
He pauseth at our threshold nay
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by”.
5. Ho! All ye heavy- laden, come!
Here’s pardon, comfort, rest and home;
Ye wanderers from a father’s face
“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by”.
6. But if you still His call refuse,
And all His wondrous love abuse,
Soon will He sadly from you turn,
Jesus of Nazareth has passeth by”
"Cheer up On your feet! He's calling you".
Matt 10:49
