A REPLY TO CERTAIN.
That I have loved my Saviour as I ought,I dare not say; but I can call him Lord,
The man Christ Jesus and the God the Word,—
And worship Him in will and deed and thought
With my poor best and truest; where He leads,
As from mine infant years I have been taught,
Thither I follow through the crowd of creeds,
And have not swerved nor changed: without His power
I could not stand, could not have stood, one hour;
But, with His help, I yet shall go straight on
Believing, and obeying, doing good,
Truth-telling, yet intolerant to none,
Giving both God and man my gratitude
For all I have or hope, through Christ the Son.
