('Lord Jesus, think on me')
Philippians 4 v.4-7
*********
Rejoice in the Lord e'er
He does His comforts share
Let all know your moderate life
In trusting Christ, no strife
The Lord He is at hand
Near to all of each land
Be anxious for nothing, but let
Him know your requests yet
In prayer, supplication
People of each nation
And with thanksgiving, so God shall
Keep your hearts and minds well
He shall keep them, 'tis through
Christ Jesus, and renew
Us with His peace, fret not mind, heart
He shall not from us part
So turmoil, fear, worry
Shall flee assuredly
Though God knows all, we may here pray
He reveals His will, way

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6.6.8.6. metre. The hymn is very old, from about the 5th Century AD. This is not really about world peace, but is in the 'rogation-tide' theme of asking in prayer.

Your knowledge of the history of Psalms is extremely interesting as it shows through time we all experience the same life challenges regardless of modern living.
Thanks Andy. Yes, true.
Well done, Orchi. Timely as well.
Thanks Jerry.
you can beat an egg
you can beat a carpet
and you can beat around the bush
but you just can't beat a bit of peace now can ya ..... and the more the merrier, if you ask me ....
