Prayer For Progress

Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum

('Awake, awake, fling off the night')

Philippians 1 v.9-11

********

Paul longs after Philippians

Greatly, with Jesus' affections

And prays that their love may abound

More and more, in Christ's fullness found

 

Love abounding in knowledge more

And in all judgement rue and sure

In wise discernment, what to do

And to know God's will here anew

 

That the ymayapprove things that are

Excellent, unspoilt, tht not mar

And that they may too be sincere

And without offence, living clear

 

Living in God's clear light, ready

For Christ's return, when that shall be

Being filled with the fruits good, pure

Of righteousness, they by Christ sure

 

That this be to the glory, praise

Of God, to Him worship upraise

Progressing on, faith, hope, and love

Each day nearer our home above
