I hear thy cry across the bewildered years!Time being the thing it is, I stand with thee;Thy friends are mine who bid us cease from fears—The Master calls, he calls to thee, to me!We are the prisoners of our strange attire,But cast aside these garments instantlyAnd with one hope, one beautiful desire,Turn Christward that our darkened eyes may see.
