Tune: Epiphany
(\'Brightest and best of the sons of the morning\')
Ephesians 5 v.8-20 parts
********
You were once in darkness, but now are you light
In the Lord, so live now here in His sight
As children of light, for fruit of the Spirit
Is in all goodness, righteousness, truth lit
Show what is unto the Lord acceptable
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful
Works of darkness, but rather them expose
For they do shameful things, secret, God knows
But all things that are reproved, exposed by the light
Visibly seen, though they secrets of night
So it is said, Awake, you that do now sleep
Rise from the dead, Christ gives you light, His sheep
So see that you then live here circumspectly
Not as foolish, but sensibly, wisely
Redeeming the time, it saving, not wasting
Because the days are evil, deceiving
Be not unwise, but do be understanding
What the will of the Lord is in each thing
Be filled with the Spirit, singing and praising
Giving thanks to God, in Jesus\' name bring
The first verse is often repeated at the end, so......
You were once in darkness, but now are you are light
In the Lord, so live now here in His sight
As children of light, for fruit of the Spirit
Is in all goodness, righteousness, truth lit
