(\'Now is eternal life\')
Ephesians 5 v.18-21
*******
Be you not drunk with wine
It be a state not fine
For therein is excess
A state that will not bless
But do be filled with the Spirit
Your path by him be daily lit
Speak to yourselves in psalms
Do good, and do give alms
And hymns, spiritual songs
Keep singing all along
make melody in your heart to
The Lord, with praises old and new
Giving thanks too always
For always through the days
Thanks to God the Father
Blessings He does confer
On us, so giving thanks in name
Of the Lord Jesus Christ thus frame
Yield to one another
Each sister and brother
Met in God\'s family
You His daughters, sons be
Let it be done within the fear
Of God, knowing He always near
Whate\'er our feelings be
Not rely on these, see
Nor letting outward things
Dictate the praise each brings
Bu always for all things do aim
To praise God, glorify His name
