THE STORY TOLD.
33
Look! look!—if you can bear it—
Look at your dying Lord!
Stand near the Cross and watch Him:
"Behold the Lamb of God!"
His Hands and Feet are piercèd,
He cannot hide His Face;
And cruel men "stand staring,"
In crowds, about the place.
They laugh at Him and mock Him
They tell Him to "come down,"
And leave that Cross of suffering,
And change it for a Crown.
Why did He bear their mockings?
Was He "the Mighty God?"
And could He have destroyed them
With one almighty word?
