Tune: Morning Light
('Stand up, stand up for Jesus')
Ephesians 4 v.1-11 parts
******
Live worthy of the calling
Of the Lord in each thing
Which He has called you to, see
What your vocation be
With all lowliness, meekness
With longsuffering bless
Each other in love forbear
As you in Christ all share
Endeavour the unity
Of the Spirit keep, He
Dwells with and too within you
He works, and does renew
You to more of Christ's image
Shown true in each visage
Maintain the bond of peace, so
Unity you shall know
There one Spirit, one body
And you are called, so be
In one hope of your calling
United praise and sing
One Lord, one faith, and there be
One baptism too, see
One God and Father of all
Above, through, [and] in us all
To each one is given grace
And Christ's good gifts we trace
Each one given a measure
They gifts from His treasure
They be means of unity
Apostles, prophets, see
Evangelists and pastors
And some they be teachers

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. metre. There is 'endeavouring' (verse 2) as we don't live up to all this all the time. The hymn in the video rattles on at a fair pace. Hardly a chance to draw breath at the end of each verse, let alone each line.

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
having run out of puff half way from the end .. I see the home stretch just round the bend ...
... a hymn poem well penned ... 🙂
Thanks N. Yes, a cracking pace they go at!
Don't know how you do it Orchi. You write anything of a religious nature and come out smelling like roses. If I even hint at religion its like I'm a bad guy. Great write though. ; )
Thanks AP. You can write too 🙂
I don't call it 'religion'. I prefer 'spiritual' when I classify poems.
