“Believe in me!” Lord, who art thou
That bid’st me to believe in thee?
I have my life to live, and now
Thy yoke would but a burden be;
I would be free.
“Come, follow me!” Nay, Lord, my way
Is wide of thine along the sea;
Among the hills I love to stray,
Nor walks there anyone with me;
Why I with thee?
(Philip Henry Savage)
