Cline hallowed by old tradition.
And grand with past renown.
When Rome wore on her forehead
The worlds imperial crown.
Land OF The mighty Cesar.
OF storfed tomb and shrIse.
OF angels. the glorious,
And Raphael, the divine.
Under the Roman heavens,
The grandest temple stands.
For the worship of the Lord our God.
Fer built BY human hands.
The great dome OF St. Peters.
In the soft Italian afr.
Rises In awful beauty.
Like an embodied prayer.
When the holy week OF passion
Comes. and the Easter uds.
People of every nation
Gather from far and vide.
To hear In the sistlne Chapel
That peniteitisi prayer.
The solemn Misersre.
With iz burden OF despair.
The sobbing and the TAiling
Miserere Domino
OH Lord. my God. have pity,
Have pity upon me.
Once Ii the smiling April
Two came from DER the SEA;
They listened. awed and silent.
To this cry of agony.
One gifted, rich and powerful.
Proud of his race and fame,
Whose words, whose deeds of daring.
Had won him deathless fame
Yet. full OF doubt and sorrow.
Weary and sore distressed.
Torn by a secret anguish
That would not let him rest.
Another sad and broken.
woman. sad and weak.
Whose falling tears were telling
The woe she could not speak.
She needed 60. the glory
OF the sweet Southern spring.
II brought the lovely day. the lowers,
The dead IL could not bring.
SO In this night OF sorrow
These sat In the solemn gloom.
One by one the lamps were dsrkened,
Ant tnC A4toAC cboAt VI 1NOIA
OF the dead Christ's awful anguish.
The worlds sins, the cross. the tomb.
Then the music ceased its waIling.
And the people. kneeling low
On the stone fioer OF the chapel.
Felt the unutterable woe.
Had the world light gone forever,
Had he Savior come In vain
Could the rock-bound tomb be f!ven?
Would the dead Christ live again?
Hsrk' A chain OF mstchless sweetness
Fills them with glad surprise;
To- A food OF heavenly radiance
Bursts upon their weeping eyes.
Like the sound OF rushing waters.
Comes the wonderful refrain.
oh. ye people break in singing.
Christ, the Lord, has come again.
he has risen-oh, ye nations.
And His glcries wide proclaim;
lie has risen, ye redeemed ones.
Bless and glorify His name.
de mas died for his beloved.
And the mighty work is done;
zie has risen-by the Father
Ever lives and rules the SON.
Peace be with you. little children.
Let no fears Jour hearts dismay;
He the way. the Life Eternal.
Holds you IN his heart Away.
After death and night and sorrow.
Comes the Resurrection Day
Day OF gladness, day Of brightness;
Oh. ye blest. exult and sing.
Halleidsah hear the chorus.
Through the heavenly spaces ring.
Glory in the highest, Glery.
Glory TO Cur Oh list and King.
The grand chorus ceased.
People passed out in the morning air;
Hearts were touched and thrilled and 81
ened,
Lifted In alteration prayer.
And the two whose feet had wandered
From their homes so far away:
knslt at midnight in the chapel,
Humbly kneeling. learned to pray,
Saw Is ne'er before the anguish
And the death Of Calvary.
While their trembling lips repeated.
on, thou dear Lord, pity mel
Jesus answered and the midnight
Broke into glorious morn.
And Q sacred love and gladness
In their waiting souls was born,
And their lives thenceiorth were blessed.
Blessing all along their way.
Christ indeed for them had risen
On that holy Easter day.
May the Christ within our bosoms
Rise and live, and reign Away
