BETHANY

He came to Bethany - there

To speak, adjust, and depend,

And love. To make the place

His hearth, the home where

It was suitable for Him to be distinguished,

In resurrection power, as Son of God.

There nard acknowledged

His moral path, nard gave savour

Of man according to God.

And in that place He last

Touched earth - leaving on earth

Something resonant with heaven.
