Tune: Christchurch
('Now is eternal life')
Philippians 1 v. 9-11
********
A prayer [by St Paul] that love abound
Yet more and more be found
Love growing in knowledge
And judgement and courage
The family of Christ shall grow
By His good grace it shall be so
And pray that we approve
Things excellent, not move
From them, and that we may
Be sincere till the day
Of Christ's return, His people He
Will gather to e'er with Him be
And lives with fruits be filled
Fruits of righteousness yield
Which by Jesus Christ be
To the glory, praise, see
Of God, who shall give faithfulness [to us]
Unto the end, and shall us bless

For a non believer I find myself very pleased to hear your hymns again my friend. Lovely and missed
Thank you SB. Pity you have to hear me singing - screeching - them! Couldn't someone else sing them?! heehee.
I tried but my voice caused the birds to tell me to shut up. You are most welcome Orchi
Heehee.
'Tis the season for a return to orchi form again...KP a distant memory?
Thank you D. Nope, KP still hovering in the background, hanging around like a.... bad smell! lol. I couldn't think of any more insults for her. Heehee.
You are definitely wearing (could it be winding?) down, orchi.
Wonderful job, my friend! A hymn-poem that even Popeye, bless his heart, can't ____________ during. Don't fill that in! 🤣
Thank you T. A cryptic puzzle there - fill in the blank in that sentence. Argh! Noooo! lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thank you Gold.
