Serenely Serving

Tune: Christchurch

('Now is eternal life')

Colossians 3 v.12-15

*******

Put on as God's chosen

Holy, beloved ones, then

Tender mercies, kindness

Humble mind, and meekness

Longsuffering, and forbearance

Lining in love with others hence

Forgive one another

Each one, sister, brother

If any have quarrel

With other, this do well

Forgive e'en as Christ forgave you

In grace and mercy, wholly true

And above all thes things

Whate'er life to you brigns

Put on love, charity

The perfect bond it be

Let peace of God rule in your hearts

Overseeing you in each part

For you are called to peace

So may strife, discord cease

You all in one body

And Christ your Head He be

And be you thankful with one voice

Praise the Lord and in Him rejoice

Let the word of Christ dwell

In you richly and tell

Of His wisdom, teaching

Others, them gospel bring

Sing with psalms, hymns, spiritual songs

With grace to the Lord all life long

And whatsoever you

Do in word or deed, so

All in the name, so be

Of the Lord Jesus free

And to God the Father thanks give

The God of all who e'er does live
