- Hymn, God in Heaven, Grant Fullest Measure
1) God in heav'n, grant fullest measure To us all whoe'er we are
To put off all carnal pleasure Which against our soul makes war,
That the heathen never may Be offended on life's way
By our thoughtless ill behavior But may learn to praise our Savior - Benediction
- Postlude
2) For the most high Lord of heaven And His fatherly command
We should honor those He's given Rulers He to us did send;
They the sword of justice bear And the wicked will not spare;
They God's children keep from evil, That our life is calm and peaceful.
3) Servants then should be obedient To their masters in the flesh,
Not only the kind and lenient, Also those who can be rash.
In all things your patience show And respect that you do owe
To the rulers God has lent you And protection He has sent you.

Scripture
I Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
