Jude, servant of Jesus, brother of James, the same
Bids mercy, peace, love to those pure in Jesu' Name.
Contend for the faith: ungodly ones have crept in,
But from fall'n angels to Sodom: God destroys sin.
These revile leaders, but e'en Michael did not, when
Fighting for Moses's body he rebuked Satan.
Like Cain, Baalam, Korah: they're rebellious scars,
Dry clouds, dead trees, raging waves, and wandering stars.
Enoch prophecied the Lord would come with His saints
To judge all these boastful men who're full of complaints.
Friends, pray in the Spirit, be built thereby, tend the weak;
Glory to God our Saviour Who safe thee can keep.
