| With His brief mighty message came to earth | T |
| Before His life or creed or cross were thought of | S |
| The love of love within man's breast had birth | T |
| But blindly through his carnal senses reaching | J |
| He plucked dead fruit and nothing has sufficed | U |
| Nor can his soul find rest in any teaching | J |

| THE BIRTH OF CHRIST IN EVERY MORTAL MIND | X |
| God rules God rules alway | F |
