Enduring to the End

Tune: Herongate

('It is a thing most wonderful')

Hosea 6 v.4

For St Philip & St James Day - May 1.

**********

Is our love like a morning mist

Which lasts a while, yet not persist?

Love for our Lord, who His life gave

In His love, sinners for to save

 

Philip and James, apostles they

Followed Christ daily in His way

He Himself the way, the world's Light

Giving to us spiritual sight

 

Will we stay with Him, He our Friend

Who loved and cared until the end

Then died and rose again, loves still

Ever doing His Father's will

 

They who unto the end endure

Shall be saved, this be true for sure

Lord, inspire us afresh that we

Follow, e'en if small our spark be
