Fits tune: Melita
('Eternal Father, strong to save')
********
Save us from sin, your cooling balm
Send by your Spirit, keep from harm
Those who trust you, salvation sure
You do grant them for evermore
And so progresses on your reign
Freedom from mourning, crying, pain
And too an end of sin shall come
You the redemption work have done
God the Father shown in the Son
Shall finish what you first begun
Death shall be o'er, the curse removed
Power of the gospel you proved
In Revelation's mysteries
Those open secrets, each one sees
With symbolism, metaphor
Yet we can learn and thus be sure
That all you have so appointed
Shall come to pass as you have said
Hearts be uplifted, minds aspire
To catch vision of holy fire
Here granted power, to witness free
To evangel each country, be
This our mission, fruit God to bear
By His grace in it we do share
On through the daily things of life
Trusting Him we have peace, not strife
Then noble destiny in sight
City, land of eternal light
Where all the saved through Christ shall be
With Him, and ever shall Him see

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 88 88 88 metre. There's a 'Kingdom Kindlings 1' I did somewhere - maybe on another site, that is not running at present! I don't quite know how 'heat' links with 'sin' in verse 1. Erm, well apart from 'hot' things. I never see them of course, as I always swoon! heehee.
