Pop's Poem

I love the name of Jesus
I love His works divine.
I love to look in His precious book
And read of the life that is mine.

I love the story of Jesus
Of how He died to save;
I love to tell my brothers
Of the wonderful life He gave.

Will you join me in loving
The Saviour of the world,
Who loves his sheep and feeds them
With His most precious Word.

Lead me, Saviour, lead me,
Lead me lest I stray,
Gently down the stream of time
Lead me all the way.

(This poem was written and given to me by John Joseph Palmer of England, my father-in-law, about one year before his death in 1987 at the age of 96)
