Tune: Tallis' Evening Hymn
('Glory to thee, my God, this night')
Philippians 3 .12-15
**********
Not that I have the end attained
Nor yet unto perfection gained
But I do press on, for that, see
For which Christ has laid hold on me
One thing I do, forget those things
Which are past, look what each day brings
Reach forth to things which are before
Seeking to grow more Christ-like sure
I press towards the goal, the prize
The high calling of God, arise
I by His grace, this calling be
Of God in Christ Jesus fully
Let us mature be, have this mind
And if otherwise you do find
God shall reveal e'en this to you
And shall lead you in His way true
