Bring him not here where our Saviour sweet
Repeats for us His story.
Go, take him where such things are done
For he sat in the seat of the scorner-
lo where they have room for we have none,

So spake the holy man of God
Of another man, his brother,
Whose cold remains, they sought the sod
Had only asked that Christian rite
Might be read above them by whose light
Was, Brethren love another;
Had only asked that prayer might be read
Ere his flesh went down to join the dead
Whilst his spirit looked with suppIant ewes
Searching for God throughout the skies:
But the priest irowned NO and his brow was h,r.
OF love in the sight of the mourner;
And they looked for Christ and found Hin-wbere2
In that little church round the corner"
All, well! God grant when with aching feet
We tread ifes last few paces
hat we may hear accents sweet
And kiss to the end, fond faces;
God grant that this tired flesh may rest
Mid many musing mourner),
Whlle the sermon is preached and the rites are read
In no church where the heart of love is dead
And the pastor pious prg at best
But in some small nook where Gods confessed
Some little church round the corner"
