Tune: Anima Christi
('Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast')
Philippians 2 v.1-4
********
If in Christ there any consolation
Or encouragement unto any one
If any comfort of love, fellowship
As you meet in community, worship
And if there be any bowels, deep feeling
Mercies, affections, every good thing
Share these things together, and then joy be
Known among each one, in Christ-likeness see
So be like-minded, having the same love
Coming from the Spirit, the holy dove
Be of one accord, and of one mind true
A part to contribute there be for you
Let nothing be done in strife, vain-glory
But in lowliness of mind each one be
Let each esteem other better than self
Not only seeking one's own profit and wealth
Look not every one on your own things, you
Look every one on things of others too
Sharing needs, interests of family
Of God, our heavenly Father He e'er be

Sorry if clip is a bit Gothic again, Brian! I chose a nice one I think. Some others were gabbling on in some Latin Mass thingy. No use - can't understand a word of it. And that was very Gothic!
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Keep us going Orchi!
Thanks Lorna.
