[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Everyone who knows the Lord,
and is now a child of God,
God’s own Spirit dwells within:
holy, hating every sin.

Changes in our lives he’ll make:
holy fruit for Jesus’ sake.
Love and joy and peace all grow
in each one that God loves so.

Patience, kindness, faithfulness,
self-control and gentleness
– these, with goodness, all must be
part of joy and peace in me.

Tune: 77 77 ‘Gentle Jesus’ by M E F Shaw

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22,23

It refers to the metre if you are trying to look up tunes. 77 77 means for lines of 7 syllables each in each verse. sometimes there is reference to the type of rhythm, but not here. CM is sometimes given and refers to 4 lines with 8, then 6, then 8, then 6 syllables which is referred to as Common Metre for hymns. Rhiannon
