lyrics

Think not thyself to be more than thou art
And judge thyself with courageous heart
Greet ye everyone with honour
And love ye, always, love one another

Be not conformed to the law of this age
But in God’s love may your minds be remade
And empty thyself as an offering
And empty thyself as an offering

Rejoice with those who now rejoice
And weep with those who speak with broken voice
So far as you may be at peace with all
Stand alongside those of no report

Bless those who press ye into the ground
Let e’er your blessing hereto resound
Never avenge offence for offence
Pay back your enemies with love, my friends

May your prayers resound in all that you do
Welcome saint and welcome strangers too
May your prayers be wound of many a threat
And evil overcome with good
