He Comes to Us
He comes to us as One unknown,
without a name,
as of old, by the lakeside, He came to those men
who knew Him not.
He speaks to us the same word:
"Follow thou me!"
and sets us to the tasks which He has to fulfill
for our time.
He commands, and to those who obey Him,
(whether they be wise or simple)
He will reveal Himself
in the toil, the conflicts, the sufferings
which they shall pass through in His fellowship,
And as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn
in their own experience
Who He is.
Albert Schweitzer
