Tune: Horbury
('Nearer my God to thee')
Colossians 3 v.1-11 part
******
Set mind on things above
Set on Christ's love
Not on the things below
No more them know
And set heart on Him so
In Him we more shall grow
Not human pride flower
Live by His power
For our old sinful self
It has no wealth
But with Christ crucified
It with Him died
Then Christ did rise again
Salvation to all men (mankind)
Our life is hid with Christ
In God, sufficed
Sufficed it is when He
Shall appear, see
We then shall true also
Appear, him know
And share in His glory
His image in us be
Growing each day by grace
Seeking His face
Putting off old lifestyle
Things that defile
Putting on life anew
Through Christ we do
We renewed in knowledge
After His fine image
Creation of God sure
Holy, loving, pure
