First Line: Bond-slave to christ, and in my bonds rejoicing
Last Line: Unsealed his eyes to that he had not known.
Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John
Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Paul, Saint (1st Century); Religion; Saul Of Tarsus; Theology
Bond-slave to Christ, and in my bonds rejoicing,
Earmarked to Him I counted less than nought;
His man henceforward, eager to be voicing
That wondrous Love which Saul the Roman sought.
Sought him and found him, working bitter sorrow;
Found him and claimed him, chose him for his own;
Bound him in darkness, till the glorious morrow
Unsealed his eyes to that he had not known.
