918. The Song of a Heathen

(Sojourning in Galilee, A. D. 32)

By Richard Watson Gilder


IF Jesus Christ is a man,—
And only a man,—I say
That of all mankind I cleave to him,
And to him will I cleave alway.

If Jesus Christ is a God,—	5
And the only God,—I swear
I will follow Him through heaven and hell,
The earth, the sea, and the air!
