Tune: St Stephen
('In Christ there is no east or west')
John 14 v.22-27
*********
John's Gospel Series (16)
Judas said, not Iscariot
Lord, how is this our lot
That you will to us disciples
Show yourself, [but] world not knows?
Jesus said, If any love me
He [or she] will keep my words, see
And my Father will love him too
Shall come to Him anew
The Father and the Son shall come
To him,and make their home
With him, for he that my words keep
Are those among my sheep
And they are not my words of me
But Father's words they be
And when Jesus departs, will send
The Spirit to them tend
Comforter, Holy Spirit
Shall He send, He shall knit
Their hearts as one, and He shall teach
Us all things, each one reach
And He shall too bring all the things
To us, His voice true rings
Bring all to our remembrance
Whate'er Jesus said thence
Peace He leaves with us, eternal
Peace He gives us, free, full
Not as the world gives does he give
Hearts can untroubled live

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8686 metre. I'm sure this was our 'school hymn' in my Primary School days - maybe the Headmaster's favourite? I was blessed to have happy school days in primary, if not so much in secondary school. My first year at secondary school was beastly.
