Swithun Wells
In his house Eucharist was celebrated,
that was his crime,
so he with others was hanged
in front of his house.
The queen or king were judges
of men’s consciences.
The past was cruel,
but man should just be free.
His persecutors believed in the same Christ,
only more local, not the global one.
As puppet church done by the king,
who claimed to be defender of the faith.
Saint Swithun for us pray,
let ecumenical movement grow.
Reunify us with Church
and help us reconcile all the wrongs.
