Tune: Song 1
(\'Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round\')
2 Peter 1 v.3-8
********
We have been given by God\'s divine power
All that we need to face each passing hour
All things that pertain unto life they be
And unto godliness through the Lord, see
Through knowledge of Him that has called us to
Glory and virtue, by Him strength renew
Whereby are given unto us so great
And precious promises, that be our state
That by them we might be sure partakers
Of the divine nature, He [on] us confers
With such graces, and we have now escaped
The world\'s corruption, lust, it thus landscaped
Beside this, give all diligence, and add
To your faith virtue, an to virtue glad
Add knowledge, and to knowledge [add] temperance
To temperance, add quality [of] patience
And to patience, add godliness to bless
To godliness add brotherly kindness
To brotherly kindness add charity
For if these things be in you, abound, see
They make you that you thus shall neither be
Barren, unfruitful, but productively
You shall bear fruit in knowledge of the Lord
He Jesus Christ, He e\'er the living Word
