Song Of The Saints And Angels
JANUARY 26, 1885. Gordon, the self-refusing, Gordon, the lover of God, Gordon, the good part choosing, Welcome along the road! Thou knowest the man, O Father! To do thy will he ran; Men's praises he did not gather: There is scarce such another man! Thy black sheep's faithful shepherd Who knew not how to flee, Is torn by the desert leopard, And comes wounded home to thee! Home he is coming the faster That the way he could not miss: In thy arms, oh take him, Master, And heal him with a kiss! Then give him a thousand cities To rule till their evils cease, And their wailing minor ditties Die in a psalm of peace.
