Five Favoured

Fits tune: Wareham

(one tune to \'Jesus where\'er thy people meet\')

Part of 1 Corinthians Chapter 14

********

Just five plain words now do say I

For they be sure to edify

More than ten thousand in tongues when

I speak, unless interpreter then

 

For Lord, when your people do meet

We in your name each other greet

With gifts shared, psalms, and doctrines too

And revelations shown anew

 

Tongues there are too, and so the need

For interpretation, to feed

People of God gathered in one

Worshipping God and Christ His Son

 

His Spirit lives in us, within

Our hearts, and draws us from our sin

For holy He, His love and power

Strengthens and sanctifies each hour

 

For all may prophesy, and speak

Submit to each other, be meek

Learn, grow, abide in Christ the vine

So fruit produced, pleasant and fine

 

\"Jesus is Saviour, Lord of all\"

Here five, six words, any may call

Upon Him today, He saves alway

\'Til dawning of eternal day
