Tune: Darwalls 148th
(\'Ye holy angles bright\')
1 Peter 3 v.8-12 and v.18
*******
Be you all of one mind
Be courteous and kind
Have compassion toward
Each other, wide and broad
Love as brothers
And too sisters
Show pity too
To not a few
Not rendering evil
For evil, so not fall
Return not rail for rail (railing)
And let not tempers fail
But do you bless
And true confess
You thereto called
To that, no less
For it be so, you shall
Inherit blessing well
For they that life will love
And be blessed from above
Let them refrain
Their tongue again
From evil word
No guile be heard
Let them evil eschew
Let them do good anew
Let them seek peace, healing
Ensue it, comfort bring
For the Lord\'s eyes
He all espies
Righteous are seen
None tended mean
The Lord\'s ears are open
Unto righteous\' prayers then
But His face be against
Evil, impenitent
For Christ also
Suffered we know
For sins, that we
Holy may be
The just for the unjust
He suffered, we needs must
Trust Him for salvation
He brings to each nation
So He the Son
The work has done
To God us brings
With thanks each sings
