And there. beneath the sky where angels sang
For Joy. the story of two thousand years
Is blotted out Upon the new command
No bloody seal is set. Good will TO men
And peace on earth" the gentle message runs.
No mummery doth down that simple word;
No blood is there but that which purified
A spotted world No tinkling raiment shames
The lowly garb Of them that worshiPed truth.
Presuming not to parcel Mercy out
Or shut the gates of Grace on any soul;
The ground where Jesus trod His earthly course
Is not divided into many folds;
The Shepherd sought for all who strayed. and one
He found He counts more precious than the nine
And ninety.

When Thou didst live Thy human life divine!
Rae all your piles of carved stone and steel.
And on their ashes rear Thine olden tane
The temple where the blue Iudean hills
Were walls. whose font was Galilee. whose hymns
Were Just the song of faith. whose litany
Was kindly words lived In Thy gentle life.
Whose sermon was the message of Thy Mount;
Whose nave the mighty way that Thou didst walk
From Bethlehem TO Calvary And let
Us have no gospel but Thy birth and sacrifice:
Just Jesus. who was born and erucihed
And rose and reigns and loves and pityeth!

Back toward ludea turn the battling hearts
OF men in these the creed and cannon days;
From soaring spires and ornaments TO where
The Nazarene once walked the fretted sea;
From gided domes whose Grass magnheenoe
Hides not the novels in their shades TO where
The Master lay that Galilean night
Beneath the stars. From velvet pews and gold
And silver glttering TO where He said
To visit them that suffer and arc sick
Is true religion. undetled Who so
Shall rightly worship God must worship Him
In spirit and in truth
The world doth tire
OF hollow show and sounding litanies
That echo from the hammered plains of War.
OF vestments crusted with the gems that mock
The starving bodies and the hungry hearts of men
1t longs to hear the simple gospel: Love
Ye one another Whosoever gives
A cup of water to the least of these
Shall give it unto me" World weary souls
Are turning from the blaspheNy of Pride.
And back across the crimson centuries
They go. back over fields of hate and strife
Back over pathways red with blood
And lighted with the fires Of stakes and CLEAN
OF swords until at last they see the Star
OF Bethlehem and stand beside holy Child
