your joy and peace pervade each word we say;
may love become of life the very root,
and grow more deep and strong with every day.
2 May patience stem the harmful word and deed,
and kindness seek the good among the wrong;
may goodness far beyond our lips proceed,
as manifest in action as in song.
3 May faithfulness endure, yet as we grow
may gentleness lend courage to the weak;
and in our self-restraint help us to know
the grace that made the King of Heaven meek. Topics: Church Year Pentecost; Commitment; Discipleship; Holy Spirit Fruit of; Pentecost and the Work of the Holy Spirit Scripture: Galatians 5:13-25 Used With Tune: LAVENDON
