(\'Lord of all being, throned afar\')
Colossians 1 v.9-13
********
A prayer in need, what here to pray?
What do we need each night and day?
Here some things prayed, we may receive
Come to the Lord now and believe
That you might be filled, this a plea
Wit the knowledge of His will, be
Filled with all wisdom, and spiritual
Understanding, so shall not fall
That you might of the Lord, worthy
Walk unto all pleasing, true, free
Being fruitful in every good
Work, increasing as you sure would
Increasing in the knowledge true
Of God, and strengthened so be you
With all might, be it according
To His glorious power living
So strengthened unto all patience
And longsuffering, too presence
Of joyfulness, and thanks giving
Unto the Father, to Him sing
He who has made us partakers
Of the inheritance, confers
Grace on us, we share, saints in light
Delivered by Him from dark night
