Christian English Hynmnal

Hymn 486 What means this eager, anxious throng, Lyrics

What means this eager, anxious throng,

Which moves with busy haste along,

These wondrous gatherings day by day?

What means this strange commotion, pray?

In accents hushed the throng reply:

“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”

In accents hushed the throng reply:

“Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.”
