Poems (Carter)/By the cross
BY THE CROSS.
Keep me lowly, keep me loving,
Keep me at Thy side alway:
From the glory of Thy vict'ry
Let me never, never stray.
Taking up Thy blessed mission,
Sent of God as Thou wast sent,—
Till my work, like Thine, is "finished,"
And the veil of Time is rent.
Keep me at Thy side alway:
From the glory of Thy vict'ry
Let me never, never stray.
Taking up Thy blessed mission,
Sent of God as Thou wast sent,—
Till my work, like Thine, is "finished,"
And the veil of Time is rent.
