Tune: St Francis Xavier
(\'My God, I love thee, not because\')
Philippians 4 v.4-7
*********
Rejoice here in the Lord always
Here throughout all life\'s days
Let your moderation be known
It to all men (mankind) be shown
For the Lord is at hand, He near
Be not anxious, nor fear
But in everything by prayer
With Him all need do share
Pray with thanksgiving, let requests
Be made known to God, best
Is, and His peace which surpasses
Understanding, shall bless
Shall bless you, and keep hearts and minds
Through Christ Jesus, thus find
His help sometimes beyond us, yet
His love on us is set
Anxiety, thinks o\'er and o\'er
What solution, what more
Can I do to relieve my care
And so no more it bear
Left to ourselves, we think again
And are concerned of when
We shall leave this, our anxious state
E\'en may ourselves berate
God\'s peace, it not dependent on
Our finding solution
Nor depends on understanding
How He will solve each thing
