When the healing truth of the Word to-day
Takes sickness and sin from our lives away,
And reveals true man in God's image made,
As pure and deathless and unafraid;
As we learn these truths that the Master taught,
Do we return with the joy they brought,
And kneel before him in grateful thought,
Or are we but of the graceless nine?
Oh, ''where are the nine?"
Is not each of them mine?
But none has returned to me:
"Where are the nine"?
