Dead, hid, risen with Christ seek things of heav'n not earth,
When Christ, Our Life, appears, in glory we shall berth.
Lust and coveting bring down God's wrath; to such die -
Put off anger, malice, cursing - and don't lie!
The old man is put off, you've now put on the new -
Where Christ is all, and in all - in both Greek and Jew.
Put on meekness and patience. Love; forgive like Christ;
Let thankfulness, songs, peace, and the Word guide your life.
Wives, submit to husbands; men, love those wives you've got.
Children, obey parents; fathers, provoke them not.
Servants, obey masters - do this as to the Lord,
He who treats all alike will grant you a reward.
