Tune: St Leonards
(\'May the mind of Christ my Saviour\')
1 Peter 1 v.21-25
**********
Christian,s their state, is born again
They are stranger among men
For they of the Spirit born are
Sojourners afar
Afar from their heavenly homeland
Yet guided by God\'s good hand
Born of seed incorruptible
Through God [made] possible
Born of that seed by God\'s word sure
It lives, abides, evermore
But mankind is temporary
Shall not lasting be
For all the people are like grass
Winds blow over, soon they pass
And their glory as like flowers
Shed in winter\'s hours
