PAUL by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY

First Line: BOND-SLAVE TO CHRIST, AND IN MY BONDS REJOICING
Last Line: UNSEALED HIS EYES TO THAT HE HAD NOT KNOWN.
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.
