Classic Poem

OLIVET: THE MOUNT OF HIS ASCENSION .

I thought of J ESUS , on the Mount
Of Olivet , gray Olivet ;
'Twas there He led His weeping band,
Within their group they saw Him stand,
His parting promises were given,
He blest them, rose and went to Heaven;
Then, as I turned my feet,
This V OICE from Olivet I heard, —
The Mount is Holy to our ascended Lord!
