(\'Happy are they, they that love God\')
1 John 2 v.1-6
***********
If any one sin, we have an
Advocate, any can
Have with the Father, He Jesus
The righteous one for us
He is the propitiation
Atones for each nation
Making forgiveness possible
For us, and unto all
And hereby we do know that we
Know Him, this is how, see
if we keep His commands, obey
Follow Him, He the Way
They that say, I know Him, but do
Not keep His commands, true
It be that they lie, the truth is
Not in them, sure is this
But whoso keeps His word, obeys
They stay with Him, no strays
In them the love of God truly
Is perfected, so be
This is how we know Him, and they
Who say that in each day
They abide in Him, such should walk* (*live)
As Jesus lived, did, talked
