«Limits and Renewals». 1932. 11. At his Execution "The Manner of Men" St. Paul I am made all things to all men - Hebrew, Roman, and Greek - In each one's tongue I speak, Suiting to each my word, That some may be drawn to the Lord! I am made all things to all men - In City or Wilderness Praising the crafts they profess That some may be drawn to the Lord - By any means to my Lord ! Since I was overcome By that great Light and Word, I have forgot or forgone The self men call their own (Being made all things to all men) So that I might save some At such small price to the Lord, As being all things to all men. I was made all things to all men, But now my course is done - And now is my reward... Ah, Christ, when I stand at Thy Throne With those I have drawn to the Lord, Restore me my self again! |
