Hasten to Humility

Tune: St Botolph

('I come with joy to meet my Lord')

Philippians 2 v.1-4

*********

If there any consolation

In Christ, He God's own Son

If any encouragement fair

With fellow mankind share

And too if there any comfort

Of love let it be sought

If any fellowship there be

Of the Spirit freely

Share these too, and be like-minded

Holding to Christ our Head

Have the same love, being of one

Accord, of one mind run* (*run = live, behave)

And let nothing be done through strife

Or vain-glory, the life

Of Christ show, be lowly in mind

Tender-hearted and kind

Let each esteem other better

Than themselves, so defer

From thinking of self only, do

Consider others too
