AS FLEW THE CROSS.
As flew the fiery cross from hand to hand, Kindling the scattered people to one flame, Out-blazing fiercely to a sudden war; As beacon fires flamed up from hill to hill, Crying afar to valleys hidden wide To tell their many dwellers of a fear That made them one—a danger shadowing all!— So flies to-day the torch of living fire, From mouth to mouth, from distant ear to ear; And all the people of all nations hear; The printed word, the living word that tells Of the great glory of the coming day,— The joy that makes us one forevermore!
