May yourselves and all those Christians who've not seen me
Be knit in love, understanding full God's myst'ry:
Christ, in whom all treasures are hidden!
Walk in Him, firm in the faith, as you've been bidden.
Beware lest men divert to tradition's deceit,
For in Christ, Who's fully deity, you're complete.
In Him you're circumcised; buried, raised in baptism:
The writing 'gainst you's nailed to His cross; you're forgiv'n!
Christ triumphed, let none judge in what you eat or drink,
Or which days are holy - mind not what others think!
Shun those who preach angel worship, far from Our Head;
Why chase earthly traditions, if in Christ you're dead?
