We all must live in harmony, Be sympathetic and show love; Compassionate abundantly, And be humble to all thereof. Pay back not others with evil, For the evil that they perform; The desire of the devil, Ways to cause a violent storm. Do not insult or ridicule, Anyone who would insult you; Bless them while remaining cool, Letting the blessing remain true. People who desire to live, A full life and enjoy good days; Have to be able to forgive, Of any tongues that go astray. Their lips may speak deceitful things, Evil sayings flow from their tongue; Convince them of what fate brings, If not changing what they have flung. They must turn away and do good, As well to seek peace and pursue; Know what to do as he should, And in knowing how to construe. The eyes of the Lord are on those, Who are doing what He approves; He hears as a confession flows, As His Holy Spirit removes. Who will harm you when devoted, As you do all in which you should; Though suffering when promoted, You are still blest if doing good. Some want to harm but do not fret, Dedicate your life in the Lord; Do not let it get you upset, Always remain in one accord. Always be ready to defend, Keeping your confidence in God; For Christ is your Brother and friend, With the Father honor and laud. Those who treat the good Christian life, With contempt be feeling ashamed; And will soon suffer with the strife, As the Gospel will be proclaimed.
