The Knight of God

Acts ix. 16

"I have shamed Thee, craven-hearted,

I have been Thy recreant knight—

Own me yet, O Lord, albeit

Weeping whilst I fight."

"Nay," He said; "yet wilt thou shame Me?

Wilt thou shame thy knightly guise?

I would have My angels wonder

At thy gladsome eyes.

"Need'st thou pity, knight of Jesus?—

Pity for thy glorious hest?

On! let God and men and angels

See that thou art blest!
