Incarnatus Est









Allah is great! - is great! - says the Koran,-

But does not know him as a little tot -

Nor as toiling tender loving man

That sorrowing our puny planet trod..



Allah is great!- is great! - says the Koran;-

But wounded healer savior it has not.

It knows no Friday grim and Golgothan

No man of sorrows as the Lord and God.



A suffering God - who can have sympathy,-

Passed like His creatures through this vale of tears,-

Who loved so much, He died upon a tree,

Whose loving heart was opened by a spear.



Allah is great! -on many a page we read,

He sees our planet spin  from lofty a throne,

But did not bleed, nor wash disciples feet,

And knows no heart ache and no weary bone.



Allah is great! is great!- says the Koran-

But so disturbing human history,-

He who immersed Himself must bridge its span,

And hold its records and its summary.
