Tune: Kingsfold
(\'I heard the voice of Jesus say\')
Matthew 12 v.38-42
********
Some scribes and Pharisees did say
Jesus, show us today
A sign, it we wold see, do show
It to us, so we know
You can do signs, but Jesus said
This unwise path not tread
Of seeking signs only, there none
I give, but only one
It sign of the prophet Jonah
You may know it for sure
That as he was three days, three nights
In whale\'s belly, no sights
Of him were seen then, yet so shall
The Son of man, know well
Be three days and three nights in heart
Of the earth, that His part
They of Nineveh shall up rise
With you, it be surprise
For they shall condemn you, for they
Repented in their day
When they heard Jonah\'s preaching they
Turned from their sinful way
Behold, one greater than Jonah
Be here, to Him hearts stir
The queen of Sheba shall rise too
With you, condemn you true
For she came from earth\'s farthest end
Ears to Solomon lend
To hear his wisdom, and behold
The news, let it be told
One greater than Solomon be
Here amidst you freely
