(\'O Lord of every shining constellation\')

Matthew 4 v.12-17

**********

Now when Jesus heard that John the Baptist, he

Was in prison, He went to Galilee*

He left Nazareth*, came to Capernaum*

It on the coast

It on the coast by the sea, He did come

 

It be in the borders see, of Zabulon*

And Nepthalim*, there then He be, God\'s Son

That it might be fulfilled, prophecy told sure

By Isaiah

By Isaiah, that He was at that shore

 

Those lands were called Galilee* of the Gentiles

The peoples there sat in darkness long whiles

But now they saw great light, the Light of the world

He unto them

He unto them was revealed and unfurled

 

And to them which sat in region and shadow

Of death light is sprung up, its dawn they know

For Jesus was among them, He did there preach

Repent now, for

Repent now, for God\'s kingdom does you reach
