At His Execution

I am made all things to all men-- Hebrew, Roman, and Greek-- In each one's tongue I speak, Suiting to each my word, That some may be drawn to the Lord! I am made all things to all men-- In City or Wilderness Praising the crafts they profess That some may be drawn to the Lord-- By any means to my Lord! Since I was overcome By that great Light and Word, I have forgot or forgone The self men call their own (Being made all things to all men) So that I might save some At such small price to the Lord, As being all things to all men. I was made all things to all men, But now my course is done-- And now is my reward... Ah, Christ, when I stand at Thy Throne With those I have drawn to the Lord, Restore me my self again!
