Tune: Christchurch
('Now is eternal life')
Romans 3 v.21-31
********
Thank you Lord, righteousness
Gift you give, you us bless
Accepted in your sight
Through Christ we are made right
No mortal man could this achieve
We come to you, in you believe
Christ, propitiation
Made for all, each nation
For each one who avails
Salvation never fails
For Christ atonement makes for all
Come to Him, respond to His call
Justified by God's grace
Put right before His face
By Christ's blood, we redeemed
Though all lost it had seemed
But God His plan through ages long
Now comes to pass, we joy in song
For thus will ever be
Salvation through Christ, see
He who died, rose again
That children, women, men
May all this good news know and hear
And turn to Him in lowly fear
Light my life, my mind, heart
To know, recall, each part
Of all Christ's works, His ways
Dawn on us saving days
That through us you seek, save the lost
For us you paid our ransom cost

I sing this, or hum it, going through some Christchurch Meadows fairly locally. No-one can hear me then, me caterwauls?! heehee
Maybe it is better nobody could hear you, orchie! In the old days they used to burn singers like that on a pyre. But you are forgiven, because you can write so well! Stick to the sherry, forget the singing!
Thanks Fred. Is it the sherry making me sing?!
A fine piece to hum as we go about our day Orchi - - thanks for sharing.
Thanks Fay. I'm paying that guy overtime, ya know - that organist! lol
Thanks STEVE ~ A great tune and an even greater POEM ~ both very uplifting ~ Yours BRIAN
Thanks Brian. My rant is over, re too-modern versions!
