WHAT means this eager, anxious throng,
Which moves with busy haste along,
These wondrous gatherings day by day?
What means this strange commo¬tion, pray?
In accents hushed the throng reply:
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
Who is this Jesus? Why should
He The city move so mightily?
A passing stranger, has He skill
To move the multitude at will?
Again the stirring tones reply :
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
