Discipling Teacher - 2 Timothy Series (1)

orchidee



Tune: St Francis Xavier

('My God, I love thee, not because')

2 Timothy 2 v.1-2

***********

Be strong in the grace that is in

Christ Jesus, without sin

Be a discipling teacher sure

Share of Christ's treasure store

 

What we have heard, that then to teach

To others, witness, preach

To those who are faithful, so they

Too then share of the Way

 

The Way of salvation it be

To generations, see

Passed on, continually to teach

That it to all folk reach

 

Message of the gospel proclaim

And Christ as Saviour name

Evangelise, that all will know

And the Lord's glories show

    St Francis Xavier is later (1506 - 1552) than St Francis of Assisi (1181 - 1226). [Spanish connections, B&A!].
