The agony of redemption

Oh, to have watched Thee through the vineyards wander,
Pluck the ripe ears and into evening roam,
Followed and known that in the twilight yonder
Legions of angels shone about Thy home.

Ah, with what bitter triumph had I seen them,
Drops of Redemption bleeding from Thy brow,
Thieves and a culprit crucified between them,
All men forsaking Him, and that was Thou. [Oswald Chambers: The Shadow of an Agony.]
