Steadfast as a rock

Steadfast as a rock
Stood the prophet of God
Faithful to rebuke sin and
Crime in all their former
In kings and nobles
As readily as in 
The un-honoured; the unknown
Swerved not from his duty
Loyal to his God
In noble dignity 
Of moral character
He stood firm as a rock
Faithful to principle...
Multitudes accepted his preaching
Followed him from place to place
Many cherished in their hearts
The hope that he was the messiah
But as John saw the people
Turning to him
He sought to direct their minds
To the coming One
