Tune: St Timothy
('O Holy Ghost, thy people bless')
John 2 v.18-22
*********
The Jews to Jesus they did say
What sign do you today
Show unto us, for casting out
Temple traders, no doubt
Jesus said, Destroy this temple
And then in three days all
Of it I will raise up, then they
Replied to Him, did say
Forty six years this temple here
Took to build and to rear
And will you in three days it raise
If we should here it raze?
But Jesus spake of the temple
Of His body, not walls
Of temple built of bricks and stone
Though that was to Jews known
When therefore Jesus was risen
From the dead, surely then
His disciples remembered so
His words, and truth did know
