Saying, Doing, Living

orchidee



Tune: Sussex

(slower tune to 'Father, hear the prayer we offer')

Colossians 3 v.23 & 4 v.2-6

*********

Continue in prayer, be watching

In the same with thanksgiving

Live wisely among all people

Glorifying God in all

 

Redeem the time, it now waste not

Make most of appointed lot

Let your speech be always with grace

That others your meekness trace

 

Speak with grace, and seasoned with salt

Not promoting blame or fault

But be wise, that you may know how

To answer each person now

 

Whatsoever you do, so do

It heartily, even you

Do it as to the Lord, not men

What does please Him once again
