John Oxenham

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.
