There was man who might have been
king
And ruled in all the earth supreme
He turned his back upon the offered

And chose to dwell with humble un-

That he might ease the heavy lvad they
bore.
Plant hope and faith in tired human
hearts
And lead them up to higher thoughts
and lives.
Hc threw his life away to aid his race
And was condemned at last and sent to
death
Like any murderer or common .thief.
Yet innocent of any charge of guilt
Save that he lived an honest, fearless
