1st Corinthians 5
Be Ye Faithful and Forgiving

melody

Be ye faithful and forgiving,
In this holy House of Bread,
Who were called from the beginning
To exalt our risen Head.
Now established as the Corner
Where our works rest and align,
May we gaze not on things former,
Thirsting but for springs of Thine.

May Thy house be swept of leaven
To prevent spoil and decay,
So in us the scent of heaven
Might with savor be relayed.

In Thy name the Body censures
And commits some to Thy rod,
'Til they turn from fleshly measures,
To embrace the boast of God.

For Thy Lamb was led to slaughter,
And His blood to us applied,
That Thy rain of living water
Might from hearts in Christ arise.
May we never be divided
By what hails not from our Lord,
But by love ever united
In Thy never changing word.

For this cause we will be jealous
For this temple where Thou dwell;
To remove lies from among us
And the sins they oft impel.
So as trimmed wicks of a candle,
True will be our lampstand light,
Neither shall our salt be trampled
As it draws the lost outside.

1st Corinthians 5
House of Bread


May Thy house be swept of leaven
To prevent spoil and decay
So in us the scent of heaven
Might be savored and conveyed.
In Thy name the Body censures
And commits some to Thy rod,

'Til they turn from fleshly measures
To embrace the boast of God


For Thy Lamb was led to slaughter
And His blood to us applied
That Thy rain of living water
Might from hearts in Christ arise

May we never be divided
By what hails not from our Lord
But by love ever united
In Thy never changing word
