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.
