Rensselaer Republican, Volume 22, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 February 1890 — Jesus of Nazareth. [ARTICLE]

Jesus of Nazareth.

He is a sea, so doep and strong;-so calm, Save when a righteous angrer quickens him, j Then at his rage, earth trembles, heaven i grows dim. His varying voice—an everlasting psalm— Now ripples words for sorrow’s only balm, Now thunders threats of direst woe to him Who braves the unknown perils of the brim, Now chants the promise of the victor’s palm. Upon this sea I cast my timid eyes In rev’rent worship, as a star-beam may Bring homage from the limits of the shies. My Lord goes on unmoved, till final day Yet know I, deep within his bosom lies The clear reflection of that feeble ray.
