The Third Demand and Reply
" Servant of Jesus, bold and free,
What hast thou done, Sir Knight, for Me? "
I saw a stricken Knight — his youth had fled;
Friends of his manhood, age, were with the dead; —
Leaning upon a monumental stone,
A mourner, broken-hearted and alone;
Then, Master , in T HY place I stood! I showed,
In all T HY life divine, the love of God;
Pointed T HEE out upon T HY radiant throne,
And lo, he made T HY promises his own!
This, O L ORD , I did for T HEE !
Thou hadst done so much for me.
