8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

     21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.(KJV)

1. Praise to Thee and adoration, 
Blessed Jesus, Son of God, 
Who, to serve Thine own creation, 
Didst partake of flesh and blood. 
Teach me that I never may 
From Thy fold or pastures stray, 
But with zeal and joy exceeding 
Follow where Thy steps are leading. 

2. Let me never, Lord, forsake Thee, 
E’en though bitter pain and strife 
On my way shall overtake me; 
But may I through all my life 
Walk in fervent love to Thee, 
In all woes for comfort flee 
To Thy birth, Thy death, and Passion, 
Till I see Thy full salvation.
