('Thou whose almighty word')
Ephesians 4 v.30-32 and 5 v.8
*************
Do not grieve God's Spirit
By Him your way is lit
Each step, each whit
For by Him you are sealed
Till redemption fulfilled
That day you sure shall know
When it comes so
Let all wrath, bitterness
Anger, clamour, no less
Things that not bless
Evil speaking, malice
Put these away, all this
Things of sin, selfishness
Repent, confess
And be you kind one to
Another, their needs view
Go help them true
And be tender-hearted
Forgiveness imparted
E'en as God forgave you
In His Son true
As darkness once were you
That your state, light not knew
Blind was your view
But now you are light in
The Lord, and cleansed from sin
Live now as sons (/daughters) of light
Good in God's sight
