Tune: Merton
('Hark a herald voice is sounding')
1 Peter 2 v.21-25
********
Christ suffered, and example left
Us, in troubles not bereft
Are we, for He endured sinless
Gave His life for us no less
That we in our sufferings here
Our feet in His steps should steer
Who did no sin, neither was guile
Found in His mouth, no defile
When He was reviled, His response
Not to revile even once
When He suffered, did not threaten
Trusted in the Judge of men
He committed Himself unto
He that judges righteous, true
God His Father, Christ His Son, we
Perfect relationship see
Christ in His own body did bear
Our sins on the cross, was there
On Calvary, that we should die
To sins, and to Him draw nigh
And so that we live righteously
By His wounds, stripes we healed be
Lost sheep we were, now we extol
Shepherd, Bishop of our souls

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. metre. An Advent hymn in the clip. They take about a whole minute to get started on the song! Some thoughts on the 'problem' of suffering.

BRIAN HERE ~ Hi Uncle Steve ~ thanks for the VIDEO ~ Nice bit o* Brass Laddie ! Andan excellent Robed Choir ! Ive been To Nebrasca (Omaha) nice State. With you ecclesiastical sense of humour you would have enjoyed the Chapel in the USAAF Base were we went for a protestant (Episcopalian) Service on the Sunday Morning ~ All the trappings were very ANGLICAN ! After the service the Pastor demonstrated that at the press of a button it became Catholic with a Crucifix & Our Lady etc. Then another button ~ with a Star of David on it ~ into a Jewish Synagogue ! With the scroll and all ! One Sanctuary with ~ Two Denominations & Judaism ! I love America ~ just when you think you*ve seen it all ~ something like this pops up ~ AMEN ! Love the Scripture *Christ Himself ~ bore our sins in His own body ~ on the Cross !* ATONEMENT ~ That is the message of Easter ~ AMEN
Blessings & Peace to You & Your Happy Hound !
