CHRIST THE MENDICANT by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: A STRANGER, TO HIS OWN
Last Line: A MOTHER'S LOVE.
Subject(s): MARY. MOTHER OF JESUS; MOTHERS; WOMEN - BIBLE; VIRGIN MARY;

A stranger, to His own
He came; and one alone,
Who knew not sin,
His lowliness believed,
And in her soul conceived
To let Him in.

He naked was, and she
Of her humanity
A garment wove.
He hungered; and she gave,
What most His heart did crave,
A Mother's love.
