CREDO by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY

First Line: NOT WHAT, WHAT WHOM, I DO BELIEVE!
Last Line: BUT WHOM!
Subject(s): FAITH; JESUS CHRIST; RELIGION; BELIEF; CREED; THEOLOGY;
Not what, but @3Whom@1, I do believe,
That, in my darkest hour of need,
Hath comfort that no mortal creed
To mortal man may give; --
Not what, but @3Whom@1!
For Christ is more than all the creeds,
And His full life of gentle deeds
Shall all the creeds outlive.
Not what I do believe, but @3Whom@1!
@3Who@1 walks beside me in the gloom?
@3Who@1 shares the burden wearisome?
@3Who@1 all the dim way doth illume,
And bids me look beyond the tomb
The larger life to live? --
Not what I do believe,
But @3Whom@1!
Not what,
But @3Whom@1!
