Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
Colossians 3 v.12-17
********
Put on then, as God's chosen ones
Who be His daughters, sons
Holy and beloved, show tender
Mercies, kindness render
And humbleness of mind do show
In longsuffering grow
Forbear one another, forgive
Each other, in peace live
If any one has a quarrel
As Christ forgave you all
So also do you the same, so
Harmony you shall know
And above all these things put on
Charity, love, each one
It be the bond of perfectness
Brings wholeness, completeness
Let peace of God rule in your hearts
Calmness in all life's parts
To this you are called, one body
The church of Christ it be
Let the word of Christ dwell richly
In you, in wisdom, see
Teach, admonish one another
Each sister and brother
Speak in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs
Seek to reconcile wrongs
Singing with grace unto the Lord
For ever true His word
Whate'er you do in word and deed
This motto, do it heed
Do all in the name of Jesus
Thankful to God, Him bless
