Tune: St Fulbert
(\'Ye choirs of new Jerusalem\')
1 Thessalonians 5 v.14-24
********
Warn the unruly, and comfort
Feeble-minded, you ought
To support the weak too, and be
Patient unto all, see
Render not evil for evil
Vengeance, God\'s province all
But ever follow what is good
To each one, live God-ward
Rejoice evermore, and do pray
unceasing night and day
In every thing give thanks, in this
God\'s will you shall not miss
Quench not the Spirit, nor despise
Prophesyings, no lies
Prove all things, to all good hold fast
True deeds and words that last
Abstain from every appearance
Of evil as from hence
The God of peace sanctify you
Wholly in Him anew
Your whole spirit, soul, body be
Preserved so, blamelessly
Until the coming of the Lord
In Him be e\'er assured
For He is faithful, He calls you
Will work with end in view
To transform you to the image
Of His Son, [that the] privilege
