Rudyard Kipling

Here you will find the Poem At His Execution of poet Rudyard Kipling

At His Execution

I am made all things to all men--
 Hebrew, Roman, and Greek--
 In each one's tongue I speak,
Suiting to each my word,
That some may be drawn to the Lord!

I am made all things to all men--
 In City or Wilderness
 Praising the crafts they profess
That some may be drawn to the Lord--
By any means to my Lord!

Since I was overcome
 By that great Light and Word,
 I have forgot or forgone
The self men call their own
(Being made all things to all men)
 So that I might save some
 At such small price to the Lord,
As being all things to all men.

I was made all things to all men,
But now my course is done--
And now is my reward...
Ah, Christ, when I stand at Thy Throne
With those I have drawn to the Lord,
 Restore me my self again!
