A vision seen, a call obeyed drew Paul to Europe's shore where, resolute and unafraid, good news of Christ he bore; and in his steps, to all these lands, by dangers undeterred, came those whose lives and lips and hands made known God's saving word. This word, once sown in Europe's soil, set hearts and minds afire: the builder's skill, the laborer's toil raised nave and roof and spire: God's house where music touched the soul with pentecostal fire and art, the Savior to extol, clothed faith in bold attire. Time came when greed for gain was rife and faith gave way to doubt; then holy war and civil strife put mercy's claims to rout. Yet Spirit-led and eloquent, reformers did not cease to call on Christians to repent and strive for Europe's peace. The Bible as their strength and stay, their psalms robustly sung, those exiled here rejoiced to pray in their own mother-tongue; and, seeking refuge, folk still come to share in Europe's dream; let fear of strangers be overcome and `Welcome' be our theme. And now, Lord Jesus, make us one with all who bear your Name, with all by whom love's work is done, whose lives your truth proclaim; empower us with a faith well-trained, a glimpse of life made whole, that daily, by your grace sustained, we nourish Europe's soul.
