Tune: Webb/Morning Light
('Stand up, stand up for Jesus')
Philippians 4 v.4-8
*********
Rejoice in the Lord always
Give Him some praise all days
Let your moderation be
Known to all, so the ysee
Your life, that it Christ-controlled
You be sheep in His fold
Awaiting his return, for
The Lord is at hand sure
And be anxious for nothing
But do in everything
By prayer and supplication
With thanksgiving, each one
Of your requests, let them be
Made known to God freely
Thouh He knows all things, do pray
He shall show you His way
And the peace of God, it shall
Keep your hearts and minds well
Through Chrsit Jesus His Son, He
Your comfort, help shall be
His peace, it cannot be all
Understood by us full
And keep minds on things true, right
Honest, just, pure, and bright
And too things that are lovely
What of good report be
And virtuous, praiseworthy
Think, meditate freely
Continue on and progress
The Lord will thus you bless
Not overcome by worry
Nor fear, anxeity

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. metre. A rip-roaring tune and hymn, maybe not exactly 'peaceful', yet it seemed to go with these words.

this reads like one of those hymn poems that need be raced through .. preferably peacefully though ...
Thanks Neville.
Good Sunday read, Orchi.
Thanks Jerry.
OK orchie, I'll stop worrying. If it doesn't work out, I'll blame it on you.
Thanks Fred. All ya (or anyone) gotta worry about is: 'Will I sing?' lol.
The world would be a better place if people facing a decision would simply ask "What would Jesus do?" and then act accordingly.
