Tune: St Fulbert
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
1 Thessalonians 5 v.14-24
********
Warn the unruly, and comfort
Feeble-minded, you ought
To support the weak too, and be
Patient unto all, see
Render not evil for evil
Vengeance, God's province all
But ever follow what is good
To each one, live God-ward
Rejoice evermore, and do pray
unceasing night and day
In every thing give thanks, in this
God's will you shall not miss
Quench not the Spirit, nor despise
Prophesyings, no lies
Prove all things, to all good hold fast
True deeds and words that last
Abstain from every appearance
Of evil as from hence
The God of peace sanctify you
Wholly in Him anew
Your whole spirit, soul, body be
Preserved so, blamelessly
Until the coming of the Lord
In Him be e'er assured
For He is faithful, He calls you
Will work with end in view
To transform you to the image
Of His Son, [that the] privilege

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. Last in series. I did not do 2 Thess - or not yet! There is another tune to this hymn, though it includes some repeating of lines, or half-lines.

So you see UNCLE STEVE just how practical your exhortations are to those of us Labouring in the Field a good lesson in Teacher Training Today. ANGELA assured me (before she went to sleep !) that all these exhortations apply equally to the GENTLE ART OF PHYSIOTHERAPING awkward or recalcitrant CLIENTS ~ All PAULS Letters are Hands-on advice for Hands-on People even PENSIONERS !
Blessings Abundant ~ Love in the Spirit ~

if everyone was to sing from the same hymn sheet, it would be a fine thing indeed.. it dont help tho having two tunes to choose from, do it.... mind you, I have had a funny kinda day and think maybe I should go back to bed... devoted to doze kinda..... Neville

Good one once more Orchi.
