+ 2ND POEMS: The Greetings Written By The Holy Apostle Paul In His Letters

To seven churches, Paul dispatched nine letters

(some sent while while free, some sent while bound in fetters).
And in the greetings of each one are told
the privileges in which Grace and Mercy hold

faithful believers; their joy in Salvation

(beyond the reach of Doubt's derogation),

the gift that is their souls' chief exultation.
