LEAVING ALL by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE

First Line: IT IS NOT WELL THAT I SHOULD MOVE
Last Line: CHRIST WENT THIS WAY. IT IS ENOUGH.
IT is not well that I should move
For ever in Life's easy street.
How should my feet not bleed for Love?
Love's bled for me. And Love is sweet.

I follow though the brambles tear,
And though the mountain track is rough.
How should I moan a cross to bear?
Christ went this way. It is enough.
