Whstmeans this eros. on Caly'rv's hill,
That pendant form, SO calm 20 still,
Those loving eyes al Oft have wept,
And lips that prayed while all else slept?
It's Jesus Christ 'szareth.
What mean those wounds on hand and feet,
That blood which stllled his hearts wild beat,
That loud, shrili Shrek of agony.
my God! Hast Thou foraker me?"
The vicum, Chris, Of Nazareth.
What mean those women crouchtng there,
All others fed; without a care,
Except Go see their loved one die.
While upwar turned each loving eve?
The Master, Christ of Nazareth.
What means the sun, retired from sight,
DraRing the earth in deepest night.
While rocking shrines upreared TO Law
Fan downwards IN the general awe?
The Victor, Christ Of Nazareth!
An! who shall say what all this means,
Inc import Of hese Calvary scenes2
This my stery, tine saved alone
Can speak how much he will atone!
The Saviour, Christ OF Nazareth,
