in the wilderness - edgar bainton lyrics

christ of his gentleness
thirsting and hungering
walked in the wilderness;
soft words of grace he spoke
unto lost desert*folk
that listned wondering
he heard the bittern call
from ruined palace*wall
answered him brotherly;
he held communion
with the she*pelican
of lonely piety
basilisk, c*ckatrice
flocked to his homilies
with mail of dread device
with monstrous barbed stings
with eager dragon*eyes;
great bats on leathern wings
and old, blind, broken things
mean in their miseries
then ever with him went
of all his wanderings
comrade, with ragged coat
gaunt ribs ** poor innocent **
bleeding foot, burning throat
the guileless young scapegoat;
for forty nights and days
followed in jesus’ ways
sure guard behind him kept
tears like a lover wept
