Tune: St Bees
(\'Hark my soul, it is the Lord\')
1 John Chapter 1 part
********
This the message, it be heard
It is true, the living word
That God is light, in Him be
No darkness at all, now see
If we say fellowship we
Have with Him, yet our life be
Walking, living in darkness
We lie, He shall not us bless
But if in the light we walk
Live for Him and of Him talk
Living in the light as He
This the mark, the standard be
Such have fellowship with each
Christ\'s love does to each one reach
And His blood cleanses from sin
Makes us pure and whole within
If we say we have no sin
We deceive ourselves, no kin
Have we with the truth, we lie
His presence not to us nigh
If we do our sins confess
He is faithful, just, will bless
Will forgive our sins no less
Cleanse us from unrighteousness
If we say we have not sinned
Hope of blessing does rescind
God we make a liar too
His word not in us anew
