Any consolation, intent

Any encouragement

 

If there any comfort of love

From the Spirit, the dove

And if there any fellowship

Of the Spirit, friendship

 

And if any warm affection

And mercies, any one

To fulfil his joy, that we be

Like-minded graciously

Each brother, sister sure

Not only our own wealth

Look not only on self's own things

But what each in Christ brings

In Christ Jesus, true this

Life of love and humility

His service freedom be
