Tune: Song 34
('Forth in thy name O Lord I go')
Ephesians 5 v.14-18
********
Awake from sleep, rise from the dead
And follow Christ, your living Head
Raised to new life by grace divine
Seeking to know His will, way fine
Christ shall give to you light, you see
And so then live circumspectly (carefully)
Not be as foolish, but as wise
Do what is pleasing in His eyes
Redeem the time, because the days
Are evil, not a moment stays
On for all time, but here, then gone
Live out your life trusting the Son
So be not unwise, understand
What the Lord's will is, by His hand (Spirit)
He shall reveal, purposefully
We shall be guided graciously
Be not drunk with wine, there excess
But serve the Lord and do Him bless
With His Spirit be filled daily
Obeying Him, true, faithfully

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. I don't know why it has this tune name, and not Song 33 or Song 35!

ANGELA HERE (9:30pm Tuesday) Thanks for uplifting ! Lovely Hymn & Tune ! EPHESIANS is one of our favourite Epistles - very Spiritual & Practical ! Becuse of my Beloved Papas profession I smile at Pauls advice about wine ! *Take a little wine to calm your tummy - BUT - Dont get DRUNK ! Brian & I love WINE - BUT - because of our Testimony - never get Drunk. Many of our Evangelical Friends are TT but for us that would be *A Fridge too Far !* Thanks for sharing.
Blessings and Joy for You & Carefree Cur
Love in the SPIRIT Angela & Brian
