Humility Honourable

Tune: Morning Hymn

('Awake my soul, and with the sun')

1 Peter 5 v.5-7

*********

Be subject to one another

To each Christian sister, brother

And be clothed with humility

Treating each other graciously

 

For God, He does resist the proud

Turns from the haughty, boastful, loud

And gives grace unto the humble

They do lovingly hear His call

 

Humble yourselves therefore under

The mighty hand of God for sure

That He may exalt you in due

Time which be suitable for you

 

Casting all you care on Him, for

He cares for you with concern pure

Trust to Him, live humble and meek

Daily His ways and will to seek
