Gifted Grace
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
By the grace given unto me,
I say to each one among you;
Not think as more highly to be,
But the sober judgment that is true.
A faith in God as to measure,
One body has many members;
For each one that God does treasure,
That consists of burning embers.
Embers without the same function,
In one body come together;
Christ as the head acts as unction,
Joining all of them who gather.
We all have gifts of many traits,
According to the grace given;
But all are given of same weights,
Using for Christ up in Heaven.
A proportion to prophesy,
That our faith has been serving;
Another to see with an eye,
Feet to walk straight without swerving.
One that teaches what we were taught,
One bestows generosity;
One with mercy to one has sought,
God-given grace in charity.
