Tune: Song 34
('Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go')
2 Timothy 4 v.6-8
*********
Paul said, I am now ready to
Be offered, Lord, my life to you
Time of my departing at hand
You give me grace to understand
I have fought a good fight, and I
By your help I you not deny
I have finished my course, my race
Now to leave earth for better place
I have kept the faith,and from now
There is laid up a crown, 'tis how
The Lord, the righteous judge rewards
Crown of righteousness me affords* (*gives)
At the last day it me shall give
He, Lord of life, does ever live
Not given only unto me
Also to all who love Him, see

Good Write there orchidee. Don
Love the parts in the Biblical Narrative where Paul's unique gifts of debate shine through. That guy could stay on track and keep it simple and to the point.
Thanks Don.
