HOLMAN HUNT'S PICTURE OF 'CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE '	A
	-
O CHRIST CHILD Everlasting Holy One	B
Sufferer of all the sorrow of this world	C
Redeemer of the sin of all this world	C
Who by Thy death brought'st life into this world	C
O Christ hear us	D
	-
This this is Thou No idle painter's dream	E
Of aureoled imaginary Christ	F
Laden with attributes that make not God	G
But Jesus son of Mary lowly wise	H
Obedient subject unto parents mild	I
Meek as the meek that shall inherit earth	J
Pure as the pure in heart that shall see God	G
	-
O infinitely human yet divine	K
Half clinging childlike to the mother found	L
Yet half repelling as the soft eyes say	M
'How is it that ye sought me Wist ye not	N
That I must be about my Father's business '	-
As in the Temple's splendors mystical	O
Earth's wisdom hearkening to the all wise One	B
Earth's closest love clasping the all loving One	B
He sees far off the vision of the cross	P
The Christ like glory and the Christ like doom	Q
	-
Messiah Elder Brother Priest and King	R
The Son of God and yet the woman's seed	S
Enterer within the veil Victor of death	T
And made to us first fruits of them that sleep	U
Saviour and Intercessor Judge and Lord	V
All that we know of Thee or knowing not	N
Love only waiting till the perfect time	W
When we shall know even as we are known	X
O Thou Child Jesus Thou dost seem to say	M
By the soft silence of these heavenly eyes	H
That rose out of the depths of nothingness	D
Upon this limner's reverent soul and hand	Y
We too should be about our father's business	D
O Christ hear us	D
	-
Have mercy on us Jesus Christ our Lord	V
The cross Thou borest still is hard to bear	Z
And awful even to humblest follower	A2
The little that Thou givest each to do	B2
	-
Of this Thy Father's business whether it be	C2
Temptation by the devil of the flesh	D2
Or long linked years of lingering toil obscure	E2
Uncomforted save by the solemn rests	F2
On mountain tops of solitary prayer	Z
Oft ending in the supreme sacrifice	G2
The putting off all garments of delight	H2
And taking sorrow's kingly crown of thorn	I2
In crucifixion of all self to Thee	C2
Who offeredst up Thyself for all the world	C
O Christ hear us	D
	-
Our Father's business unto us as Thee	C2
The whole which this earth life this hand breadth span	J2
Out of our everlasting life that lies	H
Hidden with Thee in God can ask or need	S
Outweighing all that heap of petty woes	K2
To us a measure huge which angels blow	L2
Out of the balance of our total lot	N
As zephyrs blow the winged dust away	M
	-
O Thou who wert the Child of Nazareth	M2
Make us see only this and only Thee	C2
Who camest but to do thy Father's will	N2
And didst delight to do it Take Thou then	O2
Our bitterness of loss aspirings vain	P2
And anguishes of unfulfilled desire	A2
	-
Our joys imperfect our sublimed despairs	Q2
Our hopes our dreams our wills our loves our all	R2
And cast them into the great crucible	O
In which the whole earth slowly purified	S2
Runs molten and shall run the Will of God	G
O Christ hear us	D
	-
An Autumn Psalm For	T2
NO shadow o'er the silver sea	C2
That as in slumber heaves	U2
No cloud on the September sky	V2
No blight on any leaves	U2
As the reaper comes rejoicing	R
Bringing in his sheaves	U2
	-
Long long and late the spring delayed	W2
And summer dank with rain	P2
Hung trembling o'er her sunless fruit	X2
And her unripened grain	P2
And like a weary hopeless life	Y2
Sobbed herself out in pain	P2
	-
So the year laid her child to sleep	U
Her beauty half expressed	Z2
Then slowly slowly cleared the skies	H
And smoothed the seas to rest	Z2
And raised the fields of yellowing corn	I2
O'er Summer's buried breast	Z2
	-
Till Autumn counterfeited Spring	R
With such a flush of flowers	A3
His fiery tinctured garlands more	T2
Than mocked the April bowers	A3
And airs as sweet as airs of June	B3
Brought on the twilight hours	A3
	-
O holy twilight tender calm	C3
O star above the sea	C2
O golden harvest gathered in	D3
With late solemnity	C2
And thankful joy for gifts nigh lost	E3
Which yet so plenteous be	C2
	-
Although the rain cloud wraps the hill	N2
And sudden swoop the leaves	U2
And the year nears his sacred end	F3
No eye weeps no heart grieves	U2
For the reaper came rejoicing	R
Bringing in his sheaves	U2
