Katherine Hankey

“ Tell me the Story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me.
Tell me the same old Story
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear. ”

“ Look at your dying Lord!
Stand near the Cross and watch Him:
"Behold the Lamb of God!"
His Hands and Feet are piercèd,
He cannot hide His Face;
And cruel men "stand staring,"
In crowds, about the place. ”

“ He lived a life most holy;
His every thought was Love,
And every action showed it,
To man, and God above.
His path in life was lowly;
He was a "Working-Man:"
Who knows the poor man's trials,
So well as Jesus can? ”
