SAINT PAUL: 3 by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS

First Line: SAINT, DID I SAY? WITH YOUR REMEMBERED FACES
Last Line: LAST ON THIS WORLD HERE, BUT THEIR FIRST ON GOD!
Subject(s): PAUL, SAINT (1ST CENTURY); SAUL OF TARSUS;

Saint, did I say? with your remembered faces,
Dear men and women, whom I sought and slew!
Ah when we mingle in the heavenly places
How will I weep to Stephen and to you!

Oh for the strain that rang to our reviling
Still, when the bruised limbs sank upon the sod,
Oh for the eyes that looked their last in smiling,
Last on this world here, but their first on God!
