Tune: Abbot's Leigh
('Glorious things of thee are spoken')
1 Timothy 2 v.1-6
********
Pray for all, the exhortation
People, folk of each nation
Supplications, prayers of all kinds
From inspired hearts and minds
Intercessions, and thanksgivings
To the Lord each one prayer brings
For kings, queens, all authority
And for the powers that be
So that we may lead such a life
Quiet, peaceable, no strife
In all godliness, honesty
Forgiven, from sins set free
For this good, acceptable
Such shall prosper, shall not fall
For pleasing it is in the sight
Of God our Saviour, true, right
He will have all people be saved
Through Christ He the way has paved
Desiring them to have knowledge
Of the truth and faith, courage
To accept Him, mediator
His name it be Christ for sure
Between God and man the way makes
our place on the cross He takes
He did give Himself a ransom
Avails for all, not just some
To be testified or spoken
To all children, women, men
In due time, we pray His kingdom
Come, and that His will be done
Lord, incline your ears to hear all
That in truth do on you call
