The Saint who first found grace to pen 
The saint who first found grace to pen the life which was the Life of men, and shed abroad the Gospel's ray, his fame we celebrate today. 
Lo, drawn by Pentecostal fire, his heart conceived its great desire, when pure of mind, inspired, he heard and with his hand set forth the Word. 
Then, clearly writ, the Godhead shone serene and fair to look upon; and through that record still comes power to lighten souls in death's dark hour. 
O holy mind, for wisdom fit wherein that Life of lives stood writ, may we through minds of like accord show forth the pattern of our Lord. 
And so may all whose minds are dark be led to truth by good Saint Mark, and after this our earthly strife stand written in the Book of Life.
