Classic Poem

I am the First and Last declare my Word
For I have sent thee an apostle forth
Thou hast from Me the living gospel heard
Thou shalt proclaim its truth from south to north
The farthest west the early east shall hear
My name that by the earth shall hallowed be
And they shall bow before my shrine in fear
And own my truth and it shall make them free
And thou if thou shalt keep my holy name
A priest shall be before the living God
And through the world the Father's truth proclaim
Ruling the nations with his chastening rod
And walk from glory on to glory still
Till thou in me has done his perfect will.
