The School Where Jesus Trod

And it came to pass, as I journeyed through the gates thereof,  

I lifted up mine eyes, and behold, a place of peace.  

For the principal walked in the midst of the young,  

Speaking kindly unto them, as a shepherd among his flock.  

And the staff, with gladness of heart, greeted one another;  

They inquired after the welfare of their brethren,  

And they bare one another’s burdens,  

And lifted holy hands in prayer without ceasing.  

And the teachers ministered unto the children,  

Not in knowledge alone, but in spirit and in truth.  

They tended the souls committed unto them, 

Strengthening the weak, guiding the eager,  

And teaching with diligence, as stewards of a sacred trust.  

And the students rejoiced before the Lord;  

Their countenances were bright, and their hearts were steadfast.  

For they beheld a vision of excellence,  

And ran their race with patience,  

Knowing that character is the path,  

And Christ the Everlasting Light upon it.  

Thus was Christ in the midst of them,  

Even as the pillar of fire in the wilderness.  

And all things were done unto His glory;  

For excellence was their measure,  

And righteousness their crown.  

And I departed from thence with wonder in my soul,  

Saying, "Surely the Lord hath sanctified this place;  

Surely His hand is upon this people;  

And His praise shall be in their midst for evermore."
