Keep And Kept

Tune: Hawkhurst

(\'Come gracious Spirit, heavenly dove\')

Jude 1 v.20-21 and v.24-25

********

Beloved, build up yourselves on

Your most holy faith, Christ the Son

Faith shall you give, with hope and love

And the Spirit, the heavenly dove

 

Praying in the Spirit, and keep

Yourselves in love of God, His sheep

You are, and look for the mercy

Of the Lord Jesus Christ, so be

 

Mercy e\'en to life eternal

When His people be gathered all

Into His fold, He be able

To keep safe they who on Him call

 

And to present you there faultless

Before His own throne all sinless

Before presence of His glory

With praise and joy exceedingly

 

To the only wise God, He be

Our Saviour now, eternally

Glory, majesty, dominion

Power to Him, the three in one
