THE LIGHT OF CHRIST'S FACE.
Joaquin Miller
ehold how glorious! Behold - The light of Christ's face; and such light!
- The Moslem, Buddhist, as of old.
- Gropes helpless on in hopeless night.
- But lo! where Christ comes, crowned with flame.
- Ten thousand triumphs in Christ's name.
- Ten thousand triumphs in Christ's name.
- But lo! where Christ comes crowned with flame.
- Ten thousand triumphs in Christ's name,
- Ten thousand triumphs in Christ's name.
- Elijah's chariot of fire
- Chained lightnings harnessed to his car!
- Jove's thunders bridled by a wire—
- Call unto nations "here we are!"
- Lo! all the world one sea of light,
- Save where the Paynim walks in night,
- Lo, all the world one sea of light,
- Lo, all the world one sea of light,
- Save where the Paynim walks in night,
- Lo, all the world one sea of light.
- What more? What sermons like to these;
- This light of Christ's face, power, speed,
- In these full rounded centuries,
- To prove the Christ, the Christ in deed?
- Yea, Christ is life, and Christ is light.
- And anti-Christ is death and night,
- Yea, Christ is life, and Christ is light.
- Yea, Christ is life, and Christ is light,
- And anti-Christ is death and night.
- Yea Christ is life, and Christ is light.
