She can hear the city stir

Double crown of martyrdom
She hath granted her ;… Continue reading

To Thee and To Thy Christ, O God by Anne R. Cousin

He marched in might from far;
His robes… Continue reading

O Christ, What Burdens Bowed Thy Head by Anne R. Cousin

O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head!
Our load was laid on Thee;

Now there’s no load for me.

And glory, glory dwelleth in Immanuel’s land.
