Follow Me

Listen in the reader

O friend, we never choose the better part, Until we set the Cross up in the heart. I know I can not live until I die— Till I am nailed upon it wild and high, And sleep in the tomb for a full three days dead, With angels at the feet and at the head. But then in a great brightness I shall rise To walk with stiller feet below the skies.
