Virtual Counsel
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I entreat you to agree,
In the same mind as the Lord;
Abide what He does decree,
Remaining in one accord.
Be companions to others,
That have labored side by side;
Treat as sisters and brothers,
Let the Gospel by your guide.
You are in the Book of Life,
Always rejoice in the Lord;
Laugh at the toils and strife,
That your burdens are ignored.
Let moderation be known,
Because the Lord is at hand;
And you are never alone,
Of what this life would demand.
Be not anxious for nothing,
Through prayer and supplication;
Remember with thanksgiving,
In your communication.
Because the peace of our God,
Passes all understanding;
Guarding your hearts as you laud,
That your mind is expanding.
Whatever is trustworthy,
True and honorable;
And that is pure and lovely,
Considered commendable.
Anything worthy of praise,
You must think about these things;
Of the excellence always,
And the virtue that it brings.
What you have learned and received,
Do what you have heard and seen;
Faith is what you have believed,
The God of peace that has been.
