1. Put on you, as God\'s elect

You accepted, not reject[ed]

Holy and beloved you be

Chosen by God, her now see

 

2. Put on depths of true mercies

Kindness, humbleness, wide seas

Humble mind and meekness too

Longsuffering, image new

 

3. Image of the Saviour, who

Forms His life within e\'en you

Be forbearing and forgive

With each in harmony live

 

4. Forgive, for Christ forgives you

Show in words,actions, so do

Above all things put on love

Bond of perfectness, encove[enanted]

 

5. Let God\'s peace rule in your hearts

And influence all life\'s parts

For called to this peace you are

In one body, no sins mar

 

6. And be thankful, gratitude

For graces on you endued

Let the word of Christ in dwell

You richly, His good works tell

 

7. Richly, with His wisdom bright

he does impart full insight

Teach, admonish, each other

Every sister and brother

 

8. Use psalms, hymns, songs spiritual

Comfort, strengthen, one and all

Singing to the Lord with grace

In your hearts, and seek His face

 

9. And whatever it you do

In word or deed, so pursue

To do all in the Lord\'s name

And thanks to Father God frame
