Subject(s): Israel (state); Jesus Christ - Life & Ministry; Mary. Mother Of Jesus; Religious Discrimination; Women In The Bible; Virgin Mary; Religious Conflict
When that my Son was born in a little town
How should I know
His servant, carried on a throne,
Should through a city go?
And when He turned the bargainers away
From the long house of prayer,
How should I dream, that in a latter day
His shrine should find them there.
And in His natal town, for all His words,
The warring sects increase.
How could I tell there would be heathen guards
To keep a Christian peace.
