Tune: Hawkhurst
('Come gracious Spirit, heavenly dove')
Jude 1 v.20-21 and v.24-25
********
Beloved, build up yourselves on
Your most holy faith, Christ the Son
Faith shall you give, with hope and love
And the Spirit, the heavenly dove
Praying in the Spirit, and keep
Yourselves in love of God, His sheep
You are, and look for the mercy
Of the Lord Jesus Christ, so be
Mercy e'en to life eternal
When His people be gathered all
Into His fold, He be able
To keep safe they who on Him call
And to present you there faultless
Before His own throne all sinless
Before presence of His glory
With praise and joy exceedingly
To the only wise God, He be
Our Saviour now, eternally
Glory, majesty, dominion
Power to Him, the three in one

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. format. I have used this video before. The is 'keeping ourselves', and also 'God keeping us'. The two work together, I believe.

Thank you for the daily praise! Idk why but recently I've been feeling quite peppy, it's not normal of me. It's probably your wonderful words!

Beautifully said Orchi,
Thanks Blue.
Good un Orchi - Miss Berles advocates the use of the word 'keeped' but I prefer 'kept'. What do you think?
Thanks M. Hmm, I prefer 'kept' I think. No extra berles needed for using 'keeped' though.
A powerful verse and thank you for sharing it Orchi.
Thanks Fay.
I look so forward to being in that vast mass singing praises to the Lord God of heaven and earth
Thanks M.
