“Let us go”

Raising of Lazarus.

(The Gospel History, Section 83)

Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

“Let us go”

(The Saviour of the World, Vol V Book V Poem LXXIV)

ε

The father who his son would train
May not choose pleasant paths to tread;
Behoves him sometimes teach through pain;
Through trial, up, the boy is led.
“For your sakes, I am glad his bed
Was not watched over by his Friend,
That ye may believe that word I said,—
‘I am the Life’: come, see the end.”

Said Didymus, “To die with Him we too will wend.”

Two dismal watchers shared that home,
Sat with the sisters in their woe;
Should doubt and sorrow ever roam
From place whose lord had been laid low?
Four days had he been gone, as though
Labourers had carried from the field:
Death came, and did his errand; lo,
No comfort might kind neighbours yield:

That only Friend with help, He kept himself concealed.

St. John xi. 16.
