Lyrics by Michael J. Svigel

(To the tune of “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer”)

 ________

Papias the outcast Father

Was a bishop once revered,

’Til those in later ages

Had his reputation smeared.

_______

All of the later Fathers

Said he had is doctrine wrong.

They never seemed too bothered

That he was ordained by John!

_______

They didn’t care what he believed

About the Trinity.

They just prattled without end

About his view on the Millennium.

_______

Now all the Premils love him.

But we’ll have to wait and see

Whether the coming Kingdom

Is Amil or Post or Pre!
