CHRIST AND THE WINDS
From Bethlehem to Calvary,
By night and day, by land and sea,
His closest followers were we.
By night and day, by land and sea,
His closest followers were we.
We soothed Him on His mother's breast;
We shared with John the place of rest;
With Magdalen His feet we pressed.
We shared with John the place of rest;
With Magdalen His feet we pressed.
We saw His twilight agony;
To us He breathed His latest sigh;
With us He sought again the sky.
To us He breathed His latest sigh;
With us He sought again the sky.
And now of all to whom His tone,
His face and gesture once were known,
We, wanderers, remain alone.
His face and gesture once were known,
We, wanderers, remain alone.
