Rex Iudaeorum

 

Have you seen the Nazarene?

Did you sup his wine?

And did you break

His bread and take

Sustenance divine?

 

Have you seen the healer?

And did he cure your ill?

Did he touch

Your forehead much?

Did he warm the chill?

 

Have you seen the teacher?

Did you hear his voice?

And did he say

Warm words and pray

And did your heart rejoice?

 

Have you seen the saviour?

Did he save your soul?

And did he give

You will to live?

Did he, you, enthral?

 

Have you seen the Nazarene?

Have you wept and cried?

And have you found

The grassy mound

Where he was crucified?
