Tune: Offertorium
('Sometimes a light surprises'
= 'When Jesus came to Jordan')
Colossians 3 v.12-17
********
Put on, as God's chosen ones
His people, daughters, sons
And holy and beloved, share
With others graces fair
Tender mercies and kindness
Of mind show humbleness
Meekness and longsuffering
Reflect Christ in each thing
Forbearing one another
Each sister and brother
Forgiving one another
And godly desires stir
If any have a quarrel
Against any, do well
Forgive as Christ forgave you
Complete and whole and true
Above all these things put on
Love, now let it be done
'Tis the bond of perfectness
And with it we may bless
And let the peace of God rule
In your hearts, this His call
United in one body
Be thankful and agree
Let the word of Christ dwell here
Richly in you and clear
In all wisdom, be teaching
And too admonishing
One another in psalms, hymns
Voice of praise that ne'er dims
Spiritual songs, and so sing
With grace in hearts and bring
Bring worship to the Lord new
And whatsoe'er you do
In word or deed, do all in
Whatever you begin
Do in the name of the Lord
Jesus, give thanks outpoured
Thanks to God, the Father He
Our God eternally
