And laid it in the tomb.
So precisely right.
Today the li­lies spring­ing
At my work I’m al­ways sing­ing,
No, I’m stray­ing, sad­ly stray­ing,
Out in the high­ways and by­ways of sin;
Are safe from fears and storms of night,
Kindle a flame of sac­red love
Thro’ the bleak and drea­ry street,
Far, far away from the Shep­herd’s care,
And with Him we hold com­mun­ion.
How they sing up yon­der!
Thro’ the bleak and drea­ry street,
Virgin’s Son, as fore­told,
We are on the Lord’s side!
Some are so young and so help­less,
When my bo­dy’s slum­ber­ing
In a lonely church­yard, ma­ny miles away,
O Lord, I’ve grieved Thy Holy Spirit,
The har­vest is near­ing—we reap what we sow.

Cold

The cold grave could not hold Him,
God placed the earth:
Sweet bells of East­er, ring­ing,
Every thought is filled with mu­sic,
On your ear His lov­ing tones are fall­ing,
Into the great Shep­herd’s fold.
’Twill per­ish there—how sad the sight!
Look how we gro­vel here be­low,
See, a child with bare, chilled feet,
There one had strayed from the shel­ter­ing fold,
Of the Jord­an’s stor­my riv­er,
Seeks again a Fa­ther’s care,
See, a child with bare, chilled feet,
Lies the pre­cious In­fant in the win­try cold.
Burning in the spirit,
Open the door for the child­ren,
I’ll live on, yes, I’ll live on;
Mem’ries oft re­turn­ing of her tears and sighs,
Still, all my sinning and backsliding
And comes no re­turn of the bread you have cast,
