Tune: Ratisbon
('Christ, whose glory fills the skies')
Philippians 2 v.12-16 and 3 v.14
**********
Work out your own salvation
Believers of each nation
For it is God who works in
You, empowers from within
To will and to do of His
Good pleasure, prosperous this
Do all things without grumbles
Not let be heard murmurings
Nor disputings, contentions
But serve the Lord, others bless
That you may be blameless here
Your witness to Christ appear
And harmless, as God's children
Without fault, innocent then
In the midst of a crooked
And perverse land, folk misled
Among whom you shine as lights
In the world, as radiant sights
Hold fast to God's word of life
Clarity through human strife
So to share, evangelise
Pressing onwards to high prize
Of the high calling of God
In Christ, He our path has trod
