JOHN
ANTLE (PART 2) Words and Music
.
Born in far off Newfoundland in the eighteen-sixties
Son of a captain, John joined the ministry
But his soul burned with a passion no parish could contain
"Reverend John" could stand his ground,
for the sea was in his veins
With fierce determination and abiding faith, he chose
To spread his social gospel through the many scattered coves
He forged a coastal mission, built of hospitals and ships
And exemplified the virtues of a Christian fellowship
There's providence that watches over children and fools
There's faith to seize the fallen, and grace to heal their wounds
If ever lived a hero so selflessly disposed
Remember John Antle, for he was one of those
