Religious Poetry

Welcome to the new poetry page, here you will find poems written by the parishioners of St John the Baptist, Newcastle.

The Upper Room

This is the source of our salvation,

The font from whence redemption springs,

The riven bread, the blessed cup.

Gifts our Lord from heaven brings.

To bring to mind this special place,

In lonely mid-night hours,

Or when the world has lost all charms.

The gift of peace is ours.

Receive the Lord with upraised hands,

The cup our lips embrace,

Do this, He said, remember Me,

Forever in this place.
