Be Doers of the Word of God

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: 1 John 3:18 Lyrics: Be doers of the word of God, Not simply those who hear. Be ones who look into God’s word, Obey, and persevere. Be quick to listen, slow to speak, And slow to anger, too. Put wrath aside; instead, be meek And let God work in you. Religion that is undefiled, Religion that is pure Will reach to help the orphaned child And welcome all the poor. If people come here poorly dressed, To judge them is a sin. The rich aren’t better than the rest; God welcomes poor ones in. O Christ, you save us by God’s grace From having to obey. Then freed to love, we can embrace A life that seeks your way. May we be doers of the word, May faith shine through our deeds; And as we seek to trust in God, May ethics follow creeds. Topics: Grace of God; Justice; Life in Christ Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

My perfect, spotless righteousness, the great unchangeable I AM, the King of glory and of grace! 6 One with himself, I cannot die: my soul is purchased by his blood; my life is hid with Christ on high, with Christ, my Saviour and my God.
