Tune: St Bees

('Hark my soul, it is the Lord')

Colossians 3 v.18-21

*********

Wives, submit yourselves unto

Your own husbands, it be true

That in the Lord, 'tis fitting

To be yielded in this thing

 

Husbands, love your wives, and be

Not bitter against them, see

Living in peace, harmony

So you witness to Christ free

 

Children, your parents obey

In all things through every day

For this is well pleasing to

The Lord, [He] will bless you anew

 

Fathers, provoke not children

To anger, for it be then

That they may discouraged be

But tend them supportively
