When God Dwelt Among Us

By Delwin Rees Buckner

By Delwin Rees Buckner
CHRIST wore not purple robes, yet virtue He Had in His dress which healed long years of loss Of health; His sandaled feet trod not across Rich velvet carpets, woven gorgeously, But rather on the billows of the sea, That, storm-tossed, writhe in torment, heave and toss; That same sad voice that cried upon the cross, Had formerly caused demon hosts to flee; His food was frugal, yet at His command A multitude were fed in desert soil, And water once was turned to pure sweet wine. A touch, and life-long blindness fled; His hand, Tho roughened by long years of wearing toil, Within it held God-giv'n power divine.
