Lost to Thee, Christ, lost to Thee and Thy Name
Sections of earth beneath Thy crown that came —
Lost is the revenue and lost the fame:
Save for a few, Thy governors are tame—
When will the tongueless bells ring out the same—
Lost to Thee, Christ, lost to Thee and Thy Name?
The bowed ambassadors have quit the hall,
Lost to Thee spring and summer, winter, fall—
Where was the blunder; where resides the blame?
Living not unto Thee but unto Paul
We purposed Thee an Empire: world and all
Subject to Thee, Christ; subject to Thy Name!
