Exercise Exhortation

orchidee



Tune: Hursley

('Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear')

1 Timothy 4 v.6-10

**********

Continue on, and be nourished

By the true word of God be fed

Refuse profane and old wives' tales

They fables, there no truth avails

 

Exercise self to godliness

The Lord shall strengthen and you bless

Bodily exercise has place

Though in it small profit we trace

 

But godliness, profitable

Is sure unto things in life all

having promise of this life here

And of life to come, fullness clear

 

And this be a faithful saying

Worthy of all our accepting

Labour on, gospel message share

Christ is Saviour, none can compare
