Tune: Sine Nomine
(\'For all the saints\')
Acts 11 v.19-30
********
To Syrian Antioch gospel spread
They boldly went, the Holy Spirit led
Them there to preach sure, Christ He was their Head
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Many believed, they did to the Lord turn
And their hearts did with holy passions burn
News of this Jerusalem church did learn
Alleluia, Alleluia!
And so they sent Barnabas for to go
Unto Antioch, he saw it was so
Encouraged them that the Lord more they know
Alleluia, Alleluia!
He exhorted that with purpose of heart
They would cleave to the Lord in every part
Continuing on, having made fine start
Alleluia, Alleluia!
For he a good man, full of the Spirit
Life full of help-gifts, with Christ\'s glory lit
And full of faith, making lives for Christ fit
Alleluia, Alleluia!
And hospitality seen, offering
With Paul to Judea he did it bring
Relief fund for famine, that was the thing
Alleluia, Alleluia!
