Tune: Stille Nacht
(\'Silent Night\')
Matthew 22 v.35-40
*******
Lawyer to Jesus came
Asked, saying, Can you name
What is the greatest commandment
Made by God and unto us sent
Jesus said, I it name
Jesus said, I it name
You shall love the Lord you
God with all, free and pure
With all your heart, and all your soul
And with all your mind, e\'en the whole
Here first commandment sure
Here first commandment sure {1}
It be the greatest one
I tell you, God\'s own Son
And second commandment it be
Like unto the first one, now see
Love neighbour as yourself
Love neighbour as yourself {2}
For these two commands do
Summarise, it be true
All the law and the prophets words
Follow these, now you have them heard
They commanded to you
They commanded to you
