Tune & Hymn: Father I place into your hands

Colossians 3 v.12-17

********

Put on then, as God's chosen ones

You are His daughters, sons

Tender mercies, and too be kind

have humbleness of mind

Meekness too and longsuffering

Patient be in each thing

Following Him, He our Lord and King

 

Forbear one another, forgive

Not in quarrelling live

But do forgive as Christ forgave

For us He came to save

Above all these things put on love

The Spirit, holy dove

Will help us, we be in His encove* (*covenant)

 

Love, it the bond of perfectness

So the Lord shall us bless

Let God's peace rule within your hearts

He it to us imparts

To this peace you are called in one

Body, that of His Son

Be thankful, despise His graces none

 

Let the word of Christ dwell in you

In wisdom, it rich, true

Teach, admonish one another

Each sister and brother

Using psalms, hymns, spiritual songs

Joining the joyful throng

Sing with grace in your hearts all along

 

Sing to the Lord with joyful voice

In His presence rejoice

And whatever you do in word

Or deed, what done or heard

Do all in name of the Lord, see

For Jesus He sure be

Give thanks by Him to God, Father free
