Faces

Cast not a look upon their face

or thus thou must relate

turn forth your eyes and look away

expressions on their pate


And mark them false as thus they be

look up look down look side

lest thou expose their devious ways

reveal in them their lies


The pain the hurt their life concedes

the troubles deep within

where all can see without reprieve

the wages of their sin


The lines the wrinkles fretted brow

forged by life's greatest pains

hath made their countenance amiss

that cannot be regained


Is this the best that can be borne

the visage quite forlorn

where life puts forth it's brand on thee

and marks thee greatly worn


And yet contrast the sweetened face

of one whose gaze casts long

into the eyes of Savior's ways

the right forsaking wrong


And brightened be their facial traits

with purity sublime

where thou can look upon their face

reflecting Godly time
