BUT STILL I WAIT The Cry of Earth’s Lost Millions
'hi.
The string of camels come in single file, Bearing their burdens o'er the desert sand; Swiftly the boats go plying on the Nile, The needs of men are met on every hand, But still I wait For the messenger of Christ He cometh late. I see the cloud of dust rise in the plain, The measured tread of troops falls on my ear; The soldier comes the empire to maintain, Bringing the pomp of war, the reign of fear, But still I wait For the messenger of Peace He cometh late. I set me looking o’er the desert drear There broodeth darkness as the deepest night; From many a mosque I hear the call to prayer I hear no voice that calls on Christ for light; But still I wait For the messenger of Christ He cometh late.
