The Teacher

EDITH GADDIS BREWER

Jesus, great Teacher of the sons of earth,Wondrous Exemplar of the lessons taught,Inspirer of the effort for new birth Which with the death of matter must be bought; Thou, as a young lad, taught the elders law,To Mary's waiting thought the truth didst give,Explained the way till Nicodemus sawMen must be born again if they would live.
