THE SACRIFICE.

By Clara E. Richeson

DEAR Lord, upon that sacred brow Was bound the hated thorn, And thro' those stainless hands and feet The cruel nail hath torn;
From Thy dear side a fountain red Of cleansing blood did flow, Commingled with a crystal flood, Beneath the dagger's blow;
And when the parchéd lips did thirst, The gall was offer'd up— Nor strange the piercéd heart should break When drain'd the bitter cup.
CLARA E. RICHESON.
Lead, S. D.
