The Empire of Love (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Empire of Love Why They Loved Him So kindly was His love to us, (We had not heard of love before), That all our life grew gloriousWhen He had halted at our door. So meekly did He love us men, Though blind we were with shameful sin, He touched our eyes with tears, and thenLed God's tall angels flaming in. He dwelt with us a little space, As mothers do in childhood's years, And still we can discern His faceWherever Joy or Love appears. He made our virtues all His own, And lent them grace we could not give, And now our world seems His alone, And while we live He seems to live. He took our sorrows and our pain, And hid their torture in His breast, Till we received them back againTo find on each His grief impressed.
