Deaths
On whom the mystic oil of Heaven was shed,
The Consecrating Spirit from above
Anointed Prophet, from that favored hour.html">hour
Anointed Priest, for His own people's sake,
Anointed King, unrivalled and alone
To whose high majesty and regal worth
All Powers to Him their cheerful tribute bring,
And all were hushed to rest save Israel's host;--
Each in his own hushed dwelling watched that night.html">night
The coming of go/god.html">God's Messenger of doom,
By Judgment's stern.html">stern uplifted pinions made,
Of the slain lamb, and, seeing, pass it by.
Thus, thus, O Soul! in that more awful hour
And, swift and stern, God's messengers go forth
If then, on thee is found no crimson stain
If thou.html">thou.html">thou art resting not beneath the blood.html">blood
Where wilt thou fly?--where hide thyself away
If resting 'neath the blood for sinners spilt,
Justice and Judgement claim thy life in vain,
Of this brief utt'rance canst thou grasp the whole?--
The Maker, Sovereign, Him who at a nod
Can wake a Universe from night and death,
Ten thousand worlds snatched from chaotic gloom?
If not, couldst grasp the thought.html">thought that such as He,
Of us and with us, veiled his dazzling ray
A living, dying man? Heaven, Earth, and Hell
And yet, Faith lays her hand in thine,
Bewildering in their deep mysteriousness,
Oftener to Heaven upon the breath of prayer,--
Because first learned beside a mother's knee;--
Names that with all sweet recollections blend,--
To Him who intercedes for us in Heaven.
FATHER!--dear name, to thought and feeling dear
An earthly father, trials may estrange;
With tireless patience and unslumbering care,
