     1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

     5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: 7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

     8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.(KJV)

1. Renew me, O eternal Light, 
And let my heart and soul be bright, 
Illumined with the light of grace 
That issues from Thy holy face. 

2. Destroy in me the lust of sin, 
From all impureness make me clean. 
Oh, grant me power and strength, my God, 
To strive against my flesh and blood! 

3. Create in me a new heart, Lord, 
That gladly I obey Thy Word 
And naught but what Thou wilt, desire; 
With such new life my soul inspire. 

4. Grant that I only Thee may love 
And seek those things which are above 
Till I behold Thee face to face, 
O Light eternal, through Thy grace.
