Henry Van Dyke (Генри Ван Дайк)

Christ of Everywhere

”Christ of the Andes,” Christ of Everywhere, 
Great lover of the hills, the open air, 
And patient lover of impatient men 
Who blindly strive and sin and strive again, -- 
Thou Living Word, larger than any creed, 
Thou Love Divine, uttered in human deed, -- 
Oh, teach the world, warring and wandering still, 
Thy way of Peace, the foot path of Good Will!

1. The Statue of Sherman by St. Gaudens
2. The Wind of Sorrow
3. Spring in the South
4. Francis Makemie
5. Patria
