PAUL

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.
