Hymn 398: I and all those of my household

Emi at’ ara ile mi

  1. I and all those of my household
    Will worship and serve the Lord God,
    But I even I will
    By my words and by my actions
    Show that I know the God of heav'n
    And serve Him truthfully.

  2. I will create good example
    And remove every obstacle
    From the way of my ward;
    By my life, show them their duty
    Yet, in my duty, to obtain
    Honour that comes through love.

  3. I'll be easily entreated
    And in wrath remember mercy,
    The Lord's true disciple;
    I also want to be holy
    And bring my household and loved ones
    Into the narrow way.

  4. When Thou has put the flame of love
    Within this chosen vessel's heart
    Receive it to Thyself;
    Lord, do Thy goodwill within me,
    Help to show by my life how each
    Bible Christian should live.

  5. Grant to me, dear Lord, Thy good grace;
    Behold, I come to testify
    Of Thy wonderful name
    That saved my soul from perdition
    And the grace that is felt within
    Of which each tongue can speak.

  6. I who have been set free from sin
    Desire my household to be saved;
    I would tell of pardon
    To my child, my wife and servants
    To make them walk in the good way
    To a holy heaven. Amen.
