{{rh||"NAZARENE, THOU HAST CONQUERED!"


I was angry with mine anguish,

And I gnashed against my pain;

And I stopped mine ears from hearing

Pleading music, heavenly strain.


But a flash of tender sunshine

Came and smote upon mine eyes;

Then I swooned upon the pathway,

And I dared not stir nor rise.


He of Nazareth had conquered,

And I bathed me in His smile;

Then He shewed a cord of crimson —

He had held me, all the while.
