WONDROUS LOVE by MARY SIDNEY HERBERT

Poet Analysis

First Line: CHRIST PLACED ALL REST, AND HAD NO RESTING PLACE
Last Line: LORD, WHO CAN LIVE TO SEE SUCH LOVE AGAIN?
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
Christ placed all rest, and had no resting place;
He healed each pain, yet lived in sore distress,
Deserved all good, yet lived in great disgrace
Gave all hearts joy, himself in heaviness;
Suffered them live, by whom himself was slain;
Lord, who can live to see such love again?
