THE MAN OF SORROWS, by                    
First Line: Christ claims our help in many a strange disguise
Last Line: "in every man that suffers, he, the man of sorrows, stands"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ;religion; Theology


Christ claims our help in many a strange disguise;
Now, fever-ridden, on a bed He lies;
Homeless He wanders now beneath the stars;
Now counts the number of His prison bars;
Now bends beside us, crowned with hoary hairs.
No need have we to climb the heavenly stairs,
And press our kisses on His feet and hands;
In every man that suffers, He, the Man of Sorrows, stands!
