THE WHITE PRESENCE, by                    
First Line: Will not our hearts within us burn
Last Line: Save by his feet!
Variant Title(s): Follow Me'
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


Will not our hearts within us burn
On the darkening road,
If a White Presence we can discern—
Despite an ancient load?

Whither goest thou, pilgrim Friend?
Lone Figure far ahead,
Wilt thou not tarry until the end—
And break our bread?

Follow we must amid sun or shade,
Our faith to complete,
Journeying where no path is made—
Save by His feet!
