In every heart Christ-gentleness,
And every flag with Christ-love blest.
THERE WAS A MAN
By David Starr Jordan
There was a man who saw God face to face;
His countenance and vestments evermore
Glowed with a light that never shone before,
Saving from him who saw God face to face.
And men, anear him for a little space,
Were sorely vexed at the unwonted light.
