('Teach me, my God and King')

Ephesians 2 v.19-22

*********

You are no more strangers

Nor be you foreigners

To God's plan of salvation, He

To you has revealed, see

 

But fellow-citizens

With children, women, men

You be now with God's family

Saints in His household be

 

And built on foundation

Included now, each one

Founded on apostles, prophets

And chief corner-stone set

 

Jesus Christ Himself be

This stone is, we agree

In Him the whole building well-framed

Where He is honoured, named

 

It all grows together

To holy temple where

Each one is bring built, close-knit

God dwells through His Spirit

        Love that last line Orchi - God surely dwells and contacts through Spirit.
