[Instrumental Intro — rolling reggae pulse, warm organ, gently shifting Moog, mellow blues guitar] [Verse One — close male lead, warm and conversational] Both you and Ignatius wrote to me, That if any one went from this into Syria, He should carry your letter with him; Which request I will attend to If I find a fitting opportunity, Either personally, Or through some other acting for me, That your desire may be fulfilled. [Verse Two — soft male ensemble harmonies] The Epistles of Ignatius written by him to us, And all the rest of his Epistles Which we have by us, We have sent to you, as you requested. They are subjoined to this Epistle, And by them you may be greatly profited; For they treat of faith and patience, And all things that tend to edification in our Master. [Instrumental Passage — expressive Moog, blues guitar answers] [Verse Three — gentle male lead, steady bass] Any more certain information You may have obtained Respecting both Ignatius himself, And those that were with him, Have the goodness to make known to us. [Verse Four — fuller organ, warm ensemble harmonies] These things I have written to you by Crescens, Whom up to the present time I have recommended unto you, And do now recommend. For he has acted blamelessly among us, And I believe also among you. Moreover, you will hold his sister in esteem When she comes to you. [Final Movement — radiant male ensemble, gentle resolution] Be safe in the Master Yahushua Messiah. Grace be with you all. Amen. [Instrumental Outro — flowing Moog, warm organ, blues guitar resolves]
