HYMN 126 Charity and uncharitableness. Romans 14:17:19; 1 Corinthians 10:32.

Charity and uncharitableness. Rom.14:17,19; 1 Cor.10:32.

Not diff'rent food, or diff'rent dress,

Compose the kingdom of our Lord;

But peace, and joy, and righteousness,

Faith, and obedience to his word.

When weaker Christians we despise,

We do the gospel mighty wrong;

For God, the gracious and the wise,

Receives the feeble with the strong.

Let pride and wrath be banished hence;

Meekness and love our souls pursue;

Nor shall our practice give offence

To saints, the Gentile or the Jew.
