At His Execution

"The Manner of Men" - St. Paul "Limits and Renewals" (1932) I am made all things to all men, Hebrew, Roman, and Greek, In each one's tongue I speal, Suiting to each my word, That some may be drawn to the Lord! I am made all things to all men, In City or Wilderness Praising the crafts they profess That some may be drawn to the Lord, By any means to my Lord! Since I was overcome By that great Light and Word, I have forgot or forgone The self men call their own (Being made all things to all men) So that I might save some At such small price, to the Lord, As being all things to all men. I was made all things to all men, But now my course is done, And now is my reward... Ah, Christ, when I stand at Thy Throne With those I have drawn to the Lord, Restore me my self again!
