AD ASTRA: 162 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: HIS LIFE AND TEACHING CANNOT BE IN VAIN
Last Line: WHAT HAND LIKE HIS TO LEAD US THRO' THE GLOOM?
Subject(s): GRAVES; JESUS CHRIST; RELIGIOUS EDUCATION; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES; SUNDAY SCHOOLS; YESHIVAS; PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS;

His Life and Teaching cannot be in vain,
Since no Philosophy the World hath seen
Can heal and succour, lighten and sustain,
Like that of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene,
The Guide of Guides when Doubt's dark days convene!
And in the lonely passage of the tomb
What hand like His to lead us thro' the gloom?
