Can You Forget?

By T. A. ZOLLER

T. A. ZOLLER
Can you forget, when Christ was born, How he was in a manger laid, Of all his matchless splendor shorn, And in humility arrayed? How his unselfish life was spent In loving deeds of sacrifice, And none from him were empty sent? He hears all earnest, pleading cries. For you ’twas done; how can you let Your careless heart forget, forget
Can you forget the angry mob That came with swords and staves to take The sinless One whose heart did throb With pity for the sinner’s sake? How in the judgment-hall they placed Upon his head the thorny crown, And smote your Saviour on his face With mocking soldiers bowing down? He bore this shame for you, and yet You still forget, you still forget.
Can you forget how Jesus bore His heavy cross to Calvary? And how his tender flesh they tore With cruel nails upon the tree? O matchless love and agony! That Christ should hang upon a tree And shed his precious blood for thee! He did it all to pay your debt, No more forget, no more forget.
San Claudio, Cuba.
