Tune: St Hilda
(\'O happy band of pilgrims\')
James 2 v.1-13 part
*********
Faith does does discriminate
Between those small and great
But welcomes all and loves all
It has heard its Lord\'s call
The call to love one\'s neighbour
If they be rich or poor
Whate\'er their state or station
What race or what nation
Love one\'s neighbour as one\'s self
Shall be spiritual wealth
Not partial, but conferring
love one each, discerning
Discerning that God\'s mercy
He has shown to us, see
And so we too show mercy
Unpreferentially
For if we mercy not show
We shall God\'s judgement know
And mercy triumphs over
Judgement, we not incur
Not incur it, for we speak
And act, humble and meek
As they that shall be judged by
Law of liberty nigh
