True Treasure

Tune: Melcombe

('New every morning is the love')

1 Corinthians 4 v.5-7

********

For we preach not ourselves, but we

Preach Jesus Christ the Lord, here see

And we ourselves* are your servants

For Jesus' sake, e'en now and hence

 

For God who commanded the light

To shine out of darkness, gave sight

He has shined in our hearts to give

Light of the knowledge, so we live

 

Light of the knowledge, it so be

Of the glory of God freely

In the face of Jesus Christ, true

Message of salvation to you

 

But we have this treasure, each in

Our earthly bodies, here within

As vessels, that excellency

Of God's power seen, not ours be

-------

* Paul and his companions.
