On the temples marble pavement, on the
| street,
Worn with weight of sorrow, faltering up the
slopes of Calvary.
The sorrow of the coming OF His feet.
Down the minster-aisles of splendor, from be-
twixt the cherub M,
Through the wondering Thong with motion
strong and fleet,
| Sounds the victor tread, approaching with a
music far and dim
| The music of the coming Of His feet.

with woven gold,
| Weighted not with shlmmeriug gems and

Rut white-winged and shod with glory in the
Tabor light of old
The glory of the coming of His feet.
He is coming, my spirit with His everlasting
With His blessedness immortal and complete.
| He is coming, o my spirit and His coming
