Nearer and Dearer

Unknown Artist

Nearer and Dearer

Whosoever they be that are near me,

Know not that nearer to me is the Truth.

Whosoever they be that talk with me,

Know not that mute in my heart smiles the Truth.

Whosoever they be that walk with me,

Know not I'm walking alone with the Truth.

Whosoever they be that so love me,

Know not that dearer to me is the Truth.

Nearer and Dearer, alone,

The fourth immutable Truth. ( Patrick Wakefield )
