Out Of Bounds

A little Boy, of heavenly birth,
But far from home to-day,
Comes down to find His ball, the Earth,
That Sin has cast away.
O comrades, let us one and all
Join in to get Him back His ball.

    I think this should also be catagorized in spiritual. The 3rd and 4th lines are unique. At first glance you might think that Tabb is referring to the earth as a toy. But in asking to "join in" is the asking to come back to Christ. Such a powerful message in so few words. But then I think that is what makes the impact more so.
