False Footings - Epistles of Peter Series - 10

Tune: St Fulbert

(\'Ye choirs of new Jerusalem\')

2 Peter 2 v.19-22

********

False teachers promise liberty

But they themsleves, they be

The servants of corruption, for

They on wrong path for sure

 

For of whom one is overcome

This is their state, their sum

That they are bought in bondage to

Their deceivings anew

 

For their end worse than [their] beginning

One time men did them bring

Knowledge of salvation that they

Might walk in God\'s true way

 

But they did turn from righteous way

The night became their day

They turned from the Lord\'s commandments

Given to repentants

 

But it is happened to them, know

These true proverbs be so

Dogs again turned to their vomit 

Washed pigs [return] to muddy pit
