TRUE EVANGELICAL FAITH

LYRICS

True evangelical faith cannot lie sleeping
    For it clothes the naked
    It comforts the sorrowful
    It give to the hungry, food
    And it shelters the destitute.

It cares for the blind and lame
The widow and orphan child
That’s true evangelical faith
It binds up the wounded man
It offers a gentle hand
We must become everything to all men.

Abundantly we have received
And gratefully we will respond
With true evangelical faith
So overcome evil with good
Return someone’s hatred with love
We must become everything to all men.

words by Menno Simons (1496-1561)
