Extra verses

Bringing in the sheaves

There were 12 disciples
Jesus called to help him
Simon Peter, Andrew,
James, his brother John.
Philip, Thomas, Matthew,
James the son of Alphaeus,
Thaddeus, Simon, Judas
And Bartholomew.

He has called us too (2)
To be his disciples;
Me and you and you.
He has called us too (2)
To be his disciples;
We his work must do.

(The above is not original but these are my two additional verses)

Peter always spoke first,
James and John were eager.
Peter's brother's Andrew,
Thomas he had doubts.
Philip brought Barthol'mew,
Matthew left his tax booth,
Simon was a zealot,
Judas proved untrue.

Foxes have their fox-holes,
The birds all have a nest
But for Jesus, how true,
There’s nowhere to rest.
Preach him, though we're so few,
Seeking first his kingdom,
Keep your eyes on Jesus,
Serve him and stay true.
