PracticalCounsel
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Rejoice in the Lord always,
Again I say rejoice;
Always worship and praise,
As you lift up your voice.
Let your moderation,
Be known to everyone;
Because your salvation,
Is bestowed through the Son.
For the Lord is at hand,
Be careful for nothing;
Adhere to His command,
For the blessings to bring.
Prayer and supplication,
Requests make known to God;
Pray with glorification,
As you honor and laud.
Because the peace of God,
Passes understanding;
Guard against getting flawed,
What He is demanding.
Guard your mind and your heart,
Through Jesus who is Christ;
His words never depart,
Nor be earthly enticed.
Whatsoever is true,
Honorable and just;
Worthy as to pursue,
When in Him you can trust.
Worthy of praise is pure,
Thinking about these things;
When righteously mature,
About what Heaven brings.
What you learn and receive,
Has been heard and has seen;
Your faith makes you believe,
Everything that has been.
Go and practice these things,
The peace of God shall be;
For the righteousness brings,
All the goodness to see.
