We turn to Christ anew

To serve him as our King and of his kingdom learn, from sin and every evil thing to him we turn. 2 We trust in Christ to save; in him new life begins: who by his cross a ransom gave from all our sins. Our spirits' strength and stay who when all flesh is dust will keep us on that final day, in him we trust. 3 We would be true to him till earthly journeys end, whose love no passing years can dim, our changeless friend. May we who bear his name our faith and love renew, to follow Christ our single aim, and find him true. Scripture: Matthew 4:17-22 Used With Tune: LEONI
