(\'Ye servants of God.....\')
Colossians 1 v.25-29
*******
We ministers, stewards of the gospel
Give us grace, O Lord, to go forth, to tell
Of your salvation, mystery now revealed
Hid from past ages, but is now unconcealed
It a hidden truth, a secret not known
But now to mankind, to all peoples shown
We may come believing, accept of the word
Praying all may hear it as those who have heard
God would make known what the riches sure be
Of the glory of this here mystery
To Jews and to Gentiles, it be Christ in you
The hope of glory to each believer true
There be preaching, warning, admonishing
And teaching in wisdom in every thing
To present each person in Christ perfectly
Labour on in God\'s power, work fervently
