Classic Poem

So short the road from Bethlehem
That led to Calvary,
So thronged with halt and maimed and blind,
Beggar and Pharisee.

So dark the slope of that last hill.
Yet up that way He trod
Man follows over the centuries—
Home to the heart of God!

So short the road from Bethlehem
—That led to Calvary,
So thronged with halt and maimed and blind,
—Beggar and Pharisee.

So dark the slope of that last hill.
—Yet up that way He trod
Man follows over the centuries—
—Home to the heart of God!
