Tune: Repton
('Dear Lord and Father of mankind')
2 Timothy 2 v.24-26
**********
Servants of the Lord must not strive
Nor from quarrels derive
Satisfaction, as to compete
Against man, but sit at Christ's feet
So be content, replete
So be content, replete
They must be gentle unto all
Apt to teach, hear Christ's call
Patient, and meekly instruct those
Who do against themselves oppose
Whence conflicts have arose
Whence conflicts have arose
If so it be, God may them give
Repentance, they shall live
The truth acknowledge, and yielding
To Christ's salvation in each thing
Gospel message them bring
Gospel message them bring
Ans that they come to their senses
See as through clear lenses
Thus saved from snare of evil one
Who takes captive with mercy none
They redeemed by the Son
They redeemed by the Son
