THE SOUL OF JESUS IS RESTLESS TODAY, by                    
Last Line: But eternally undismayed
Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Modern Life


The soul of Jesus is restless today;
Christ is trampling through the spirit-world,
Compassion in His heart for the fainting millions,
He trudges through China, through Polanda
Through Russia, Austria, Germany, Armenia,a
Patiently He pleads with the Church,
Tenderly He woos her.
The wounds of His body are bleeding afresh for the sorrows of His shepherdless people.
We beseige Him with selfish petitions,
We weary Him with our petty ambitions,a
From the needy we bury him in piles of carven stone,
We obscure Him in the smoke of stuffy incense,
We drown Him in the needs and sorrows of the exploited "least of His brethren."
The soul of Jesus is restless today,
But eternally undismayed
