CHRIST'S VESTURE

From the February 1927 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Has error stripped you of your coat of many hues,
And sold you to the passing Midianites?
Then, comrade, keep your faith; you cannot lose
Those visions dear of Truth, your guardian lights.
Mayhap you'll live to feed a multitude;
Forgive, and turn your brethren from their wrong;
To see the years of leanness turn to good,
A father's mourning wail become a song.
Those first faint beams in time will shine in power
Upon the road our Way-shower trod in deed,
Who, while he lifted burdens of the hour,
Was visioning forth that all mankind be freed.
'T is ours to weave the new-old vesture bright
With which to clothe ourselves, and all, in light.
