"HEAR YE HIM."

By J. E. Lloyd

I will listen, let me know All thy words, my Lord below. Faithful record, pure and true, Let me look thy pages through.

Thine own book! Thy Testament! Telling us the Father sent His own Son to set us free From the law eternally.

Like his brethren he became; Flesh and blood, he took the same. Wondrous works of love he wrought, Wondrous words of truth he taught.

"Think not—ye who seek my aim,— To destroy the law I came. I obey my Father's will, All his righteous law fulfill.

"Truly, truly, thus I say— Heaven and earth shall pass away, Ere one jot or tittle be Unfulfilled all perfectly.

"Whosoever breaketh, then, E'en the least, and teacheth men Thus to break commandments given, Shall be called the least in Heaven."

So agree the writings all, Mark, and Luke, and John, and Paul, Teaching us with solemn awe, To regard God's perfect law.

Jesus came on earth to win Straying souls from paths of sin. Who follow him in word and deed, Are from the law thus truly freed. East Oakland, Cal. J. E. LLOYD.
