Tune: Epiphany
('Brightest and best of the sons of the morning')
Mark 1 v.14-18
*********
Light of the world, you did call your disciples
They left all, followed you, obeyed your calls
Forth they did go, shared the news of salvation
Gospel message spread to every nation
Fishermen you called to be fishers of men
Appointed of your choosing of them then
Twelve chosen and by your spirit directing
Giving them wisdom and grace in each thing
So send forth us, your church, people of today
That we evangelise and watch and pray
Preaching and teaching as your proclamation
Repent, each person, your message, God's Son
For the time is fulfilled, kingdom of God be
At hand, now is the time to repent, see
And believe in the gospel open to all
Let us too follow, respond to His call
(The last verse of the hymn is traditionally repeated at the end, and so here also)
Light of the world, you did call your disciples
They left all, followed you, obeyed your calls
Forth they did go, shared the news of salvation
Gospel message spread to every nation

A most impressive hymnal poem in 11.10.11.10 ..
Thanks N. Sounds like bingo. lol.
Very nice Orchi a great hymn
Thank you SB.
Familiar with the original hymn/tune. This is most impressive, Orchi! Love it! 😍
Thank you Tristan. Sometimes longer lines can give a bit more expression. Then again, shorter lines may concentrate things more. Plus some hymns have Choruses, or Refrain - not meaning refraining from singing it, of course! lol.
Of course, except that crow in that back that keeps hitting all the wrong notes! LOL! Other than that, don't refrain! LOL! You're welcome, my friend! A great hymn-poem.
A very inspiring poem about faith, enjoyed the read.
Thank you LP.

Thank you Thad.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
Another epiphany piece… you know what they say: three times lucky 🍀 or twice blessed!
Thank you A. There may be more on this theme, as Epiphany season is longer this year. It all depends on the date of Easter, working backwards and forwards from that date, which is different each year. Gotta wait longer for our pancakes this year, though I was born eating them, as I was born on a Pancake Day / Shrove Tuesday. lol.
Beautiful hymn and a call to follow Jesus...
Thank you S.
Powerful penning!! 🙏
Strong thoughts and message,

Best regards ✌️ Thad
