WHERE THE BLESSED FEET HAVE TROD' by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY

First Line: NOT ALONE IN PALESTINE THOSE BLESSED FEET
Last Line: JESU, THOU ART FOUND: MY GOD I HAIL, %MY LORD, MY GOD!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST; PALESTINE;

Not alone in Palestine those blessed Feet have trod,
For I catch their print,
I have seen their dint
On a plot of chalky ground,
Little villas dotted round;
On a sea-worn waste,
Where a priest, in haste,
Passeth with the Blessèd Sacrament to one dying, frail,
Through the yarrow, past the tamarisk, and the plaited snail:
Bright upon the grass I see
Bleeding Feet of Calvary-
And I worship, and I clasp them round!
On this bit of chalky, English ground,
Jesu, Thou art found: my God I hail,
My Lord, my God!
