"Come to me," says One, "and, coming, be at rest." 2 Has he marks to lead me to him, if he be my Guide? "In his feet and hands are wound-prints, and his side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, that his brow adorns?

"Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask him to receive me, will he say me nay?
