But "who am I?" Thus Moses' meek protest,
Reluctant to assume the task at hand.
How gently reassuring Love's command:
I go with thee. Obedience the test.
And "who am I?" rose David's humble cry,
"That thou hast brought me hitherto?" Serene
To listening heart Love's tender, I have been
Wherever thou hast walked. All good is nigh.
"Whom say ye that I am?" The Master's plea
Straightway brought proof that one indeed perceived
The deathless Christ and blessing high received;
Beheld the rock, true based identity.
"Who am I?" may still arise in thought;
Some timid sense suggest yet more delay.
Unready—or unwilling? Love's clear way
Shines radiantly for you: Love's plan is wrought.
