Peace Promise

('Oft in danger, oft in woe')

Philippians 4 v.4-8

************

Rejoice in the Lord always

Here throughout your earthly days

Let your lives be moderate

Balanced, not intemperate

 

For the Lord, He be at hand

Soon to return to this land

To gather His people in

To be with Him without sin

 

Be not anxious, full of care

But in everything by prayer

[And] supplications, thanks giving

All your requests to God bring

 

And the peace of God, which see

Beyond understanding be

Shall keep your hearts and minds through

Christ Jesus, and peace renew

 

Whatsoever things are true

Honest, noble, just, pure too

Think on those things, and what be

Of good report and lovely

 

And on things that have virtue

And what is praiseworthy too

So your minds set on the Lord

Peace to you He shall afford* (*give)
