Tune: Dix
('As with gladness men of old')
1 Peter 1 v.22-25
*********
Seeing you have purified
Your souls, obeyed, not denied
Obeying the truth, it through
The Spirit's help unto you
Unto unfeigned love and care
Fervent love with each one share
With pure heart, born from above
Of the Spirit, of His love
Not of perishable seed
[But] Imperishable indeed
By the word of God, which lives
Abide e'er, for life He gives
For all flesh is as the grass
It does wither and does pass
And all the glory of man
Not lasting, make it none can
'Tis like flower of the field
Gives only temporary yield
But word of the LORD endures
Ever faithful, ever pure
This word it be the gospel
preached to you, and it does tell
Of salvation through the Son
Of God, Jesus Christ the One

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.7.7.7.7.7. metre. Not strictly a Ch......Carol (you know the Ch... word!), as the wise men were guided to the 'young child'. So more likely Epiphany season, after Ch..... Nearly said the word in October there! lol.
