(\'Dear Lord and Father of mankind\')
Mark 1 v.32-38
********
An evening, when the sun did set
The world it was still lit
With Jesus, He the world\'s true light
Brought healing, freedom, joy, and sight
Devils did flee in fright
Devils did flee in fright
At city there in Galilee
All people gathered, see
Jesus many sick folk did heal
Brought in God\'s kingdom with true weal (well-being)
And He acts today still
And He acts today still
He healed them, diverse diseases
That held them, did them seize
And too many devils cast out
Silencing them there and no doubt
They did not His name shout
They did not His name shout
Then in the morn, very early
He rose up then, here see
Went to a solitary place
For there to seek His Father\'s face
And in prayer His will trace
And in prayer His will trace
Disciples they did find Him there
And said, Do come and share
For all people do seek for you
He said, Let us go next town too
To bring the tidings new
To bring the tidings new
Tidings of the gospel, good news
Open to all who choose
To believe in Him, for to preach
He came forth, many souls to reach
Salvation unto each
Salvation unto each
