Matthew, Messiah, Israel’s King,
Sets forth, by Israel slain;
But God decreed that Israel’s loss
Should be the Gentile’s gain.
Mark tells us how in patient love
This earth has once been trod
By One who in a servant’s form
Was yet the Son of God.
Luke, the physician, tells of a
More skilled Physician still,
Who gave His life as “Son of Man”
To heal us from all ill.
John, the beloved of Jesus, sees,
In Him the Father’s Son;
THE EVERLASTING WORD, made
flesh,
Yet with the Father ONE.
