Before the Good Samaritan Came

far from all exhortations let me live

close to the cooling streams You made

far from the clanging bells that cannot save


far from the endless blind judging the blind.

let me in fields of green reside and in the shade

nor face the smiles that unmade all You made


nor face the weather vaned who call and call on your sweet Name

but who when I call for the least injury

cannot be found at all.
