[Instrumental Intro — rolling reggae pulse, warm organ, gently shifting Moog, mellow blues guitar] [Verse One — close male lead, compassionate and steady] And let the presbyters be compassionate and merciful to all, Bringing back those that wander, Visiting all the sick, And not neglecting the widow, the orphan, or the poor, But always providing for that which is becoming In the sight of Elohim and man; [Verse Two — soft male ensemble harmonies] Abstaining from all wrath, Respect of persons, and unjust judgment; Keeping far off from all covetousness, Not quickly crediting an evil report against any one, Not severe in judgment, As knowing that we are all under a debt of sin. [Instrumental Passage — expressive Moog, blues guitar answers] [Verse Three — fuller organ, earnest male lead] If then we entreat the Master to forgive us, We ought also ourselves to forgive; For we are before the eyes of our Master and Elohim, And we must all appear at the judgment-seat of Messiah, And must every one give an account of himself. [Verse Four — harmonies gradually rise] Let us then serve Him in fear, And with all reverence, Even as He Himself has commanded us, And as the apostles who preached the Gospel unto us, And the prophets who proclaimed beforehand The coming of the Master Have alike taught us. [Final Movement — firm male ensemble, widening harmonies] Let us be zealous in the pursuit of that which is good, Keeping ourselves from causes of offense, From false brethren, And from those who in hypocrisy bear the name of the Master, And draw away vain men into error. [Instrumental Outro — warm organ, flowing Moog, blues guitar resolves]
