Humble Heard

Tune: Heinlein

(\'Forty days and forty nights\')

James 4 v.6-10

*********

God resists the proud, but gives

Grace to the humble. each lives

Submit yourselves therefore to

God, yield Him your life anew

 

Reist the devil, and he

Will then from you swiftly flee

Draw near to God, and he will

Draw near to you this day still

 

Cleanse your hands, you sinners here

That your good deeds may appear

Unto God, and purify

You hearts, minds, know He is nigh

 

Be not double minded, be

Single-minded, clarity

Be afflicted, mourn, and weep

Yet God takes us for His sheep

 

Let laughter turn to mourning

And joy turn to lamenting

Humble self in the Lord\'s sight

He shall raise you, give you light
