Creeds.
Which is the false? and which the true?
And who is wrong? and who is right?
There are so many teachers who
Condemn each other's chosen light—
So many creeds to-day, that we
Grow fearful lest we go astray,
Yet Christ said simply —"Follow Me!
I am the Light, the Truth, the Way."
And who is wrong? and who is right?
There are so many teachers who
Condemn each other's chosen light—
So many creeds to-day, that we
Grow fearful lest we go astray,
Yet Christ said simply —"Follow Me!
I am the Light, the Truth, the Way."
"Lo! Christ is here!" Lo! Christ is there!
The varied calls the soul confuse;
And midst the devious paths we fear
Lest we the one true path shall lose:
That 'mong the 'wildering lights that blaze
We shall not shape our course aright—
But lose, in their deceptive rays
The only one, true 'leading Light.'

Who follows Christ? Not he who turns
His back upon the sinful soul;
But he whose heart with pity yearns
To make the wretched sinner whole.
Not he who selfishly doth spend
His days, in hoarding worthless pelf,
But he, who for both foes and friends
Unselfishly denies himself.
