“Follow Me”

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.
