Contentment
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Let brotherly love continue,
Neglect not hospitality;
That any strangers may pursue,
As angels of the Deity.
Remember those in the prison,
And suffering adversity;
Remember that Christ had risen,
That everyone has dignity.
Let marriage be held in honor,
Never to become defiled;
For your spouse being a fawner,
Not an adulterous child.
Avoid any love of money,
Contented with what you possess;
God will supply milk and honey,
Since lust and greed tend to oppress.
The Lord will never forsake you,
He is your helper so revere;
Because man will never be true,
What they speak is never sincere.
Remember those who speak the Word,
Think of the outcome of their way;
Imitate their faith that you heard,
In keeping from going astray.
Jesus Christ will remain the same,
Throughout each day and forever;
That we all had better proclaim,
About His love will not sever.
