(\'Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts\')
1 Peter 2 v.9-10
******
You a chosen generation
And too you a holy nation
A royal priesthood of our King
A special people, to Him sing
That you should show forth the praises
Of Him who had called you, raises
each one to Him worship, for He
Called you from darkness to light, see
It be His marvellous light pure
In it we may rejoice e\'ermore
In time past we were not people
Of God, but now His people all
And we had not His mercy, though
He has now revealed it, \'tis so
And we from Him it have obtained
Blessings and favour we have gained
