John Fawcett • English

Primary Scripture: Philippians 3:8

Verse 1

Religion is the chief concern Of mortals here below: May I its great importance learn, Its sovereign virtue know!

Verse 2

O may my heart, by grace renewed, Be my Redeemer’s throne; And be my stubborn will subdued, His government to own!

Verse 3

Let deep repentance, faith, and love Be joined with godly fear; And all my conversation prove My heart to be sincere.

Verse 4

Let lively hope my soul inspire; Let warm affections rise; And may I wait with strong desire To mount above the skies! AMEN.
