ITO be said or sung by all the
people standing, at any meeting
of Sun Worshippers on April l.,
I1934.)
A homeless carpenter, he tramped
The dusty roads of Gallilee
And lonely in the desert camped
The while He planned to make
men free.
He loved the sweaty, common
throng.
He bore their sorrows and He
knew their woes.
His voice rang out 'gainst vested
wrong,
And Church and State were in
slant foes.
And Church and State combined
to stay
The weary feet, the hands that
healed;
They nailed them to a cross one
day
And thought His lips forever seal
ed.
Alive, He had nowhere to lay His
headi
Now. in a. rich mans winding
sheet
Lies the still body Of the dead.
Bound are the hands; and bound
the weary feet.
The power of fear and death, He
broke!
Cast off the shroud of wealth and
! shame.
Men gained new courage when lie
spoke
Aid fought oppression in His
Name.
Lord, let dead courage resurrec-
ton know;
From out Wealth's winding sheet
let Truth arise!
In Thy brave footsteps let us on

Til meeting Thee. we meet g
