The Epistles to the Hebrews

44  The Ep i s t l e to the Hebrews : Par t I

Hast Thou No Scar? Hast thou no scar?

No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand? I hear thee sung as mighty in the land. I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star. Has thou no scar? Hast thou no wound? Yet I was wounded by the archers, spent, Leaned Me against a tree to die; and rent By ravening beasts that compassed Me, I swooned;

Has thou no wound? No wound, no scar?

Yet, as the Master shall the servant be, And pierced are the feet that follow Me; But thine are whole; can he have followed far Who has no wound or scar?
