Living in the Light

Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum

('Awake, awake, fling off the night')

Ephesians 5 v.13-17

********

All things that are so reproved they

Are manifest in light of day

Things of darkness shall exposed be

No longer hidden secretly

For whatsoever does reveal

Is light, and nought it does conceal

Wherefore it is said, Awake, you

That sleep, arise from the dead true

And Christ shall give you light, so see

That you walk, live, circumspectly

Carefully, not as fools, but wise

What is pleasing in the Lord's eyes

Redeeming the time, for the day

Are evil with devious ways

So be not unwise, understand

What the Lord's will is, His good hand* (*His Spirit)
