Fits tune: Dove of Peace
('I come with joy to meet my Lord')
Philippians Chapter 4 part
********
1. Be anxious for nothing, but call
On the Lord in them all
Always to pray, give thanks and find
God's peace for heart and mind
2. His peace beyond understanding
He will it to you bring
To keep your hearts and minds, nights, days
Through Christ Jesus always
3. Think on such things as that will life bring
Meditate on them, sing
Of them, their beauties, wholesome, sure
Abiding evermore
4. Think not on things disturbing, harm
They shall bring, hinder calm
Disrupt, annoy, unsettle, pains
Shall bring, ill-gotten gains
5. Think on things true, honest, and just
Not false, dishonest, lust
And too think on the pure, lowly
No un-attractions see
6. Think too on things of good report
And virtuous things, those sort
Of matters, and praiseworthy here
Living in godly fear
7. Finding with grace, contentment true
If having much or few
Whate'er each situation be
Grow in grace, you and me
8. That grace of Christ to do all things
With the help that he brigns
His strength for all we face each day
May we each watch and pray
9. And God shall all our needs supply
His resources ne'er die
Riches in glory He has true
Through Christ He comes to you
