PHILIP.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Onward through leagues of sun-illumined corn,

As if through parted seas, the pathway runs,

And crowned with sunshine as the Prince of Peace

Walks the beloved Master, leading us,

As Moses led our fathers in old times

Out of the land of bondage! We have found

Him of whom Moses and the Prophets wrote,

Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph.
