Tune: Offertorium
('When Jesus came to Jordan')
1 Timothy 1 v.12-17
********
As Paul, so we thank Jesus
Who has enabled us
Counted us faithful to serve
'Tis more than we deserve
He puts us in ministry
That we His servants be
Before we went other way
But now salvation's day
Some blasphemed, persecuted
Those who by Christ were led
Some insolent, would cause harm
To those who bring Christ's balm
Such did act ignorantly
In unbelief they be
But now Christ's light on them dawns
'Tis their salvation's morns
Grace of our Lord exceeding
Is to each one pleading
Who repents, asks salvation
From each, any nation
Abundant with faith and love
To us, the Holy Dove
The person of the Spirit
He sends us, our way lit
This be a faithful saying
Worthy of accepting
That Christ Jesus came into
The world to make us new
To save sinners, who like Paul
May their words, deeds, recall
They without Christ may have been
Chief of sinners, but seen
Seen now Christ by faith, He King
Who does salvation bring
Immortal, invisible
Only wise God o'er all
To Him be honour, glory
To endless ages be
For He did come to save, see
And has saved even me

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. metre. I had not done a poem to this tune before. I knew the tune, but had not heard it for ages, until recently. Also for St Timothy and St Titus' Day (Jan 26th), two of Paul's colleagues.
