If CHRIST SHOULD COME TO-DAY

hove come and the world shall be shaken
Like reed at at the touch of my rod,
And the kingdoms of time shall awaken
To the voice and the summons OF God
No more through the din of the ages
Shall warnings and chidings divine,
From the lips of my prophets and sages
Be trampled like pearls before swine
Ye have stolen my lands and my cattle;
Ye have kept back from labor its need
We have challenged the outcasts to battle
When they plead at your feet in their need
And when clamors of hunger grew louder,
And the mutitudes prayed to be fed,
We have answered with prison and powder
The cries of your brothers for bread
turn from your affairs and arches,
And the mocking of steeples and domes,
To ion in the long weary marches
OF the ones we have robbed of their homes;
share in the sorrows and crosses
OF the Naked the hungry and cold
And dearcr to me are their losses
Than your gains and your idols Of gold.
will wither the might of the spoiler,
will laugh at your dungeons and locks
The tyrant shall yield to the toiler,
And your Judges eat grass like the OK
For the prayers of the poor have assembled
To be written in lightning on high,
And the walls of your captives have blended
With the bolts that must leap from the sky
The thrones of your kings shall be shattered
And the prisoner and serf shall go free
will harvest from seed that scattered
On the borders of blue Galilee
For come not alone, and stranger
Lol my reapers will sing through the night
Til; the star that stood over the manager
Shall cover the world with its light
