Tune: St Clement
('The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended')
1 Peter 2 v.6-10
**********
You are a chosen generation
And too you a holy nation
A royal priesthood, God's own special
People, to show His praises all
The praises of Him who has called you
Out of darkness, and now to view
His marvellous light, eternal day
To grow in Christ, the Life, Truth, Way
In times past you were not a people
But now God's people, by His call
You had not obtained mercy, now though
His saving mercies you do know
You built upon the true foundation
Of Christ, in Him full salvation
He the corner-stone, we living stones
We His house, He for us atones

Ahem! Today's 'chosen generation' has largely turned its back on christianity. Can you think why that could be?
Thanks Dusk.
