CHRIST CAME

Margaret Troili Campbell

He came to the Magdalen close to the tomb,Comforting grief;He came to the eleven in the locked room,Quickening faith;He came to sweet Galilee in the bright morn,Pledging his love;He stood by the seaside, among the newbornFishers of men;He gave them commission that they should go forth,Preaching the Word,On seas of the nations and lands of the earth,Christ to be near.
