Tune: Charity
(\'Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost\')
James 3 v.13-18
*********
James\' practicality
In all events of life, see
Asks who are the wise midst you?
Who has knowledge too?
Let such show good way of life
Not bitter envy or strife
But show works from wisdom meek
Ever the Lord seek
Wisdom with that envy, strife
Is not true to godly life
Glory not if having this
Never promotes bliss
Earthly, sensual, devilish
Is such wisdom, no relish
There confusion, works evil
Such shall fail and fall
But the wisdom from above
Given to us in God\'s love
Is pure, peaceable, and calm
Wholly free from harm
And too gentle, easily
To be entreated, such be
Without partiality
No hypocrisy
And the fruit of righteousness
Is shown by such who do bless
Sown in peace of them that make
Peace for the Lord\'s sake
