The Song of a Heathen

THE SONG OF A HEATHEN (Sojourning in Galilee, AD 32).


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,--
  And the only God,-- I swear
I will follow Him through heaven and hell,
  The earth, the sea, and the air!


By Richard Watson Gilder (1844-1909)
