Lyrics:

 “Do the Good Thats Yours to Do”
Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM (“Good King Wenceslas”) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D
Text: Anna Strickland, 2024
Music: Piae Cantiones, 1582 

 People came from all around
just to see the teacher
living in the wilderness
speaking to the seekers
He had no pretentiousness
he would tell you bluntly
So they sought out his advice
on how to live justly 

“Tell me, John, what should I do
As a tax collector?”
“Take only what’s yours to take;
Don’t abuse your debtors.”
Soldiers, shepherds, fishermen
Asked him the same question
John responded all the same,
“Share all your possessions.”

Some are called to off er care
Some to exhortation
Some to hospitality
Some to education
All our gifts collectively
Work to bring salvation
Do the good that’s yours to do
With determination
