His Peaceful Word

For Calvary interprets human life;
No path of pain but there we meet our Lorg;
And all the strain, the terror and the strife
Die down like the waves before His peaceful word,
And nowhere but beside the awful Cross,
And where the olives grow along the hill,
Can we accept the unexplained, the loss,
The crushing agony, and hold us still.
