Humility and gentleness, Bearing with each other in love; With such patience and faithfulness, From His love that flows from above. Keep unity of His Spirit, Maintaining in the bond of peace; Through our thoughts and the merit, Allow hostilities to cease. Only one body and Spirit, Which will be calling for one hope; One Lord and faith to inherit, Through baptism giving the scope. Of one God and Father of all, Through His grace that has been given; A gift of Christ buffers a fall, For righteously access Heaven. When He ascended up on high, He had led a host of captives; Giving us gifts that would apply, Reuniting with relatives. What is it when He descended, Into lower regions of earth; As to that you are defended, In order to give you new birth. He who descended is the One, Also ascended far above; Who is as the begotten Son, Providing others with His love. He gave disciples and teachers, The prophets and evangelists; Equipping them to be preachers, Through faith as being loyalists. He equipped the saints with duty. For the work of the ministry; Of Christ building up the beauty, That reveals of the mystery. The unity of faith attains, And the knowledge about the Son; The wisdom of the Lord contains, As Scriptures prove what He has done. Copyright © 2019 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
