THE FORSAKEN CHRIST

THE FORSAKEN CHRIST
"They all forsook him and fled"
They who once had chosen him;
Who once left all and followed him.
Who had declared high faith in him;
Who oft had vowed, Though all forsake
Yet will still be true to thee;"
These all forsook him and fled.
They who were his chosen, separated ones;
Whom he had taught and trained and trusted
long;
On whom he had poured out his wondrous love;
The ones to whom he had revealed himself;
To whom he must entrust the Kingdoms veal;
Whom he had knighted with, 81 call you friends;''
They, when the mob pressed hard, left him and
fled.
They all forsook him and fed-him,
The Wonderful, the Christ of Love-
The Light, the Life, the Mighty Christ,
Christ, the Son of the Living God;
Him, they forsook, and left alone.
He had forseen, fortold this act, and yet,
What grief and disappointment filled his heart,
What loneliness his when thus they fled;
Had he not called them friends? What friends
they were!
How suffer heart and mind when crisis comes
And fair-day friends neglect, if not forsake.
They fled and left him with the mob
Behold the Christ, alone! Lone, but for God
Christ knew the promises; he trusted God"
This was his confidence, "God will not fail"
He told the twelve that though they fled he
would
Not be alone; the Father would abide.
So he hung upon the Cross,
Of friends bereft, by foes reviled,
Worn with the rabbles shouts and taunts,
His body crushed with pain and shame,
He turned to find relief in God
And-found him not; the world was blank:
He reached for God, sought far for him,
But void seemed the universe!
God had forsaken him and left him lone indeed
He was scape,goat bearing Israels sins,
And in far desert left to die, alone;
To die of hunger, thirst, or torn by beast,
With none to see its woe or hear it's cry.
Christ felt it all! No marvel then
That he gave voice to cry, cry,
Heart-broken and heart-breakng, "My God,
My God why hast forsaken me?'
The sky as brass threw echoes back
Mocked, "Why hast thou forsaken me?"
God did not hear or answer him;
Christ was alone, alone, and death was near!
Deep mystery here. What did it mean?
We may not understand But Christ must drink
The cup to bitter dregs. Abandonment
BY man and God made deepest, blacklist hell
And Christ passed through its horrors and it's !
gloom, -, -~-
" .s4.--<,.-, - L. $50
But in this midnight hell of loneliness,
With friends far off and God himself withdrawn, /
He felt life ebbing fast, and from the depths,
He cried with faith, undaunted faith in God,
God, whom he could not hear, or see, or feel, !
Yet who, faith said, was near, 20 Father mine.
Into thy hands my spirit, / commando"
And thus he cast himself in death on God,
And found, indeed, that God was near to save;
The Everlasting Arms supported Christ:
God could not fail Son with faith like that.
