Tune: North Coates
('O my Saviour, lifted')
2 Timothy 4 v.6-8
*********
May this testimony
Of us true sure be
That we fought the good fight
Of faith, lived in light
Having finished the course
Christ who was our source
He shall e'en the end be
When mortal lives flee
And too the faith may we
Have kept steadfastly
So promise of a crown
Granted right to own
Crown of righteousness, see
Which the Lord, so be
Has laid up for all they
That serve Him, the Way
It be given unto
Those, pray not a few
That love His appearing
His presence sharing
So our earthly life done
Salvation the Son
Does give to all people
Come each, hear His call

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.5.6.5 format. Strangely maybe, I penned this 'end-theme' poem at the end of a notebook of poems.

Awesome, that’s cool you write in a notebook.. I need to do that as ink in printers are sky High! Nice hymn also
Thanks Dove. Well, I 'pencil' my poems, rather than 'pen' them. Also, I type them up at intervals on to PC files. Do you do this? Or you go straight to the typing up part first?
Typing and I use to print them out, but haven’t done so in a few years..
Ah, I hear the bells calling to congregate. It’s been awhile.
Thanks CP. Turn them bells off - they woke me up of a Sunday morning - some say! lol.
I've known recorded bells to be played, if bell-ringers were not available.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
