Confirming Cockerel

orchidee



Tune: Buckland

('Loving Shepherd of thy sheep')

Luke 22 v.31-34

*********

The Lord said, Simon [Peter], behold

Satan desires, it be told

To have you, that he as wheat

May you sift, shake you complete

 

But I have prayed for you, see

That your faith fail not but be

Sustained, and when you do turn

Back to me, do of me learn

 

And strengthen your companions

Your brethren, my daughters, sons

Then Peter did say that day

Lord, I will go in your way

 

I ready to go with you

To prison, e'en to death too

But Jesus said, I tell you

Peter this you shall not do

 

For before cockerel shall crow

Mark my words, and them do know

That you shall thrice me deny

That you know me, this no lie

      I remember that one (the yarn) from Sunday School, orchi.
      Pushed there by my parents in order to allow them some down time (so to speak - is Fido choking at his leash?)
