EN 3381 The Saint Who First Found Grace to Pen

Mark.1.1

Versi Version 1

1

The Saint who first found grace to pen

The Life which was the Life of men,

And shed abroad the Gospel’s ray,

His fame we celebrate today.

2

Lo, drawn by Pentecostal fire,

His heart conceived its great desire,

When pure of mind, inspired, he heard

And with his hand set forth the Word.

3

Then, clearly writ, the Godhead shone

Serene and fair to look upon;

And through that record still comes power

To lighten souls in death’s dark hour.

4

O holy mind, for wisdom fit

Wherein that Life of lives stood writ,

May we through minds of like accord

Show forth the patterns of our Lord.

5

And so may all whose minds are dark

Be led to truth by good Saint Mark,

And after this our earthly strife

Stand written in the Book of Life.

6

Praise God Who made the world so fair,

And sent His Son our Savior there,

And by His Holy Spirit wist

To teach the first Evangelist.
