Christ, the Man
written by William Henry Davies
From "Songs of Joy", 1911 Link to further information




Lord, I say nothing; I profess
  No faith in thee nor Christ thy Son:
Yet no man ever heard me mock
  A true believing one.

If knowledge is not great enough
  To give a man believing power,
Lord, he must wait in thy great hand
  Till revelation's hour.

Meanwhile he'll follow Christ, the man,
  In that humanity he taught,
Which to the poor and the oppressed
  Gives its best time and thought.
