Tune: Mannheim
('Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us')
***********
In your mercy, Lord, do forgive
Strengthen us to Christ-like live
Growing more into His image
By your grace give us courage
Leaving self, help us your cross take
Up daily, e'en for your sake
You do know our human failings
In penitence we may bring
Them to you, then inspire, we pray
Us to bring forth fruit today
The fruit of your Spirit shown, so
Others may you see and know
Love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness
From your Spirit, they will bless
And too goodness and gentleness
Humble lowliness, meekness
Faithfulness and self-control, see
Temperance and honesty
Committing all to you in prayer
And thanksgiving with you share
Help us, Lord, not your peace to lose
But your way always to choose
Thus settled in heart and mind we
Salt and light to the world be
