Tune: Servant Song

(\'Brother, sister, let me serve you\')

1 Peter 5 v.5-11

********

Subject yourselves to each other

To each sister, each brother

And be clothed with humility

God resists the proud, so be

 

And He gives grace to the humble

Therefore humble yourselves all

Under God\'s mighty hand, so He

May exalt in due time, see

 

Casting upon Him all your care

For He cares for you e\'erwhere

Be sober and be vigilant

Wary of evil intent

 

For your adversary, devil

As roaring lion does prowl

Walks about, seeking whom he may

Devour and turn away

 

Resist him steadfast in the faith

Realising lies he saith

And know that the same afflictions

Are share by all faithful ones

 

But God, he us called, He all grace

Called us to glory, His face

Shall we see eternally through

Christ Jesus, His mercies new

 

After you have suffered a while

God make you perfect, no guile

Shall stablish, strengthen, settle you

To Him glory ever due
