NO LONGER OF HIM BE IT SAID
"The Son of Man has no place to lay His head." Luke 9:58
Words: Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918). Kilmer is best known for his poem
"Trees."
Music: "Sheltering Wing," Joseph Barnby (1838-1896).
No longer of Him be it said,
"He hath no place to lay His head";
In every land a constant lamp
Flames by His small and mighty camp.
There is no strange and distant place
That is not gladdened by His face;
And every nation kneels to hail
The Splendor shining through its veil.
Imprisoned for His love of me
He makes my spirit greatly free;
And through my lips that uttered sin
The King of Glory enters in.
