Tune: St Bees
(\'Hark my soul, it is the Lord\')
Colossians 3 v.18-21
*********
Wives, submit yourselves unto
Your own husbands, it be true
That in the Lord, \'tis fitting
To be yielded in this thing
Husbands, love your wives, and be
Not bitter against them, see
Living in peace, harmony
So you witness to Christ free
Children, your parents obey
In all things through every day
For this is well pleasing to
The Lord, [He] will bless you anew
Fathers, provoke not children
To anger, for it be then
That they may discouraged be
But tend them supportively
