The Altar | ||
5.
“O My people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein
have I wearied thee? testify against Me.”
Thus driven from place to place, He makes appeal
From judgment unto judgment in all eyes,
In judgment stands before all enemies,
Crying aloud, each hidden thing reveal,
Bring forth your reasons nothing to conceal,
Let wicked men and spirits now arise,
One Woman-born your enmity defies,
Else on His innocence ye set your seal.
Ye in like manner shall before Him stand,
Each, one by one, stand as a criminal,
And make appeal in the great judgment-hall
Of men and angels; all things now at hand
Shall onward pass to the eternal strand,
Where sentence shall be given upon us all.
The Altar | ||
