Peace Proferred

Tune: Tallis\' Evening Hymn

(\'All praise to thee, my God this night\')

Luke 10 v.5-10 part

*******

Jesus did send out seventy

In pairs His witnesses to be

Whatever house they entered, there

To seek to share a blessing fair

 

To say \'Peace be to this house\' here

We bring good tidings, need not fear

Save in that fear of reverence

Of the Lord, it fear in that sense

 

If peaceful ones do there abide

Your peace offered will there reside

But if not, fret not, for it be

Your peace shall return to you, see

 

Go in Christ\'s name, teach, preach, and heal

Share kingdom of God, and appeal

For folk to turn to Him and so

His love and goodness they shall know
