Our Captain and Our king.
"Jesus, whose lot with us was cast, Who saw it out from first to last, Patient, fearless, tender, true, Carpenter, vagabond, felon, Jew. Whose humorous eye took m every phase, Of full rich life the world displays; Yet evermore kept fast m view The far-off goal it leads us to: Who, as your hour neared, did not fail, The world's fate trembling m the seale —
With your half-hearted band to dine, And chat across the bread and wine, Then went out firm to face the end, Alone, without a single friend: Who felt, as your last words confessed, Wrung from a proud unflinching breast, By hours of dull ignoble pain, Your whole life's fight was fought m vain. Would I could win and keep and feel That heart of love, that spirit of steel." —Anonymous,
