THE SONG OF A HEATHEN by RICHARD WATSON GILDER

First Line: IF JESUS CHRIST IS A MAN
Last Line: THE EARTH, THE SEA, AND THE AIR!
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
(SOJOURNING IN GALILEE, A. D. 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!
