Christ's Standard

ROBERT ELLIS KEY

Truth, our standard—raise it higher!
We who follow must aspire
To the heights that Jesus trod;
Through the gospel he hath spoken,
Showing us by word and token
Man inseparable from God.

Nations of the world have waited
For a Comforter belated,
For a king of David's line;
Yet the Christ is here, revealing
Through the gift of Christian healing,
Life and Truth and Love divine.

Truth, our standard—none is higher—
And its Science doth require
That we tread where Jesus trod;
Meek and mighty through reflection,
Conscious of divine perfection,
All our being known to God.
