Christ's Intercession

By Martha Harris Golden

Martha Harris Golden
*Hard pressed by foes who sought His doom, And demon-powers that thronged His way, The Master with His God communed As His disciples now should pray. It reached the Father's listening ear,— His heart's desire for you and me. Debarring dread of death and fear, He claimed a filial unity,— Sublime request and noble plea! When buffeted on every side, Amid His sun's obscurity, For us He prayed,—our Christ Who died!*
*And still the risen Saviour pleads While angels laud His matchless grace; A little while He intercedes; Then shall we see Him face to face. Wondrous our Jesus' ministry, And marvelous our Father's care; Nor can aught bar love's mighty sea, When all God's children bend in prayer.* Portland, Ore.
