Tune: St Stephen
('In Christ there is no east or west')
Colossians 4 v.2-6
********
Continue in prayer, and watch in
The same with thanks therein
Praying for spread of the gospel
Each witness of it tell
That doors be opened, and ways made
To preach bold, unafraid
To share the mystery, open
Secret of Christ still yet
Live wisely midst non-believers
You who as receivers
have believed sure the gospel news
So many more may choose
Choose to accept the salvation
Christ offers each nation
Redeem the time, it not wasting
Be fruitful in each thing
Let your speech be always with grace
To peoples, every race
And seasoned with salt, that you may
Answer each in right way

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. format. The hymn was 'The School Hymn' of my Primary School. We had other hymns too, but this was the 'favourite'. I may do a series of poems on Colossians soon. 'Mystery' in verse 2' means 'open secret'. A mystery, yet a secret that everyone can know. Also, mystery in the sense of no humans thinking it up.
