I plead to agree in the Lord,
Longing for in joy to standfast;
For remaining in one accord,
In a life that will ever last.
I ask you to go help others,
Who labored with you by your side;
They are your sisters and brothers,
Who are believers that abide.
So rejoice in the Lord always,
And again I will say rejoice;
Living for the Lord all your days,
Praising Him and lift up your voice.
Let reasonableness be known,
Because of the Lord is at hand;
Majestic beauty He has shown.
By His voice that He does command.
Be not anxious for anything,
All by prayer and supplication;
But be careful about nothing,
As you thank God for salvation.
The peace of God which outperforms,
All understanding guards your heart;
For comprehending to all norms,
Through Christ Jesus that you impart.
Whatever is honest and true,
Being pure and lovely and just;
Will be commendable to you,
When enabled to put your trust.
What you have learned and have believed,
All that you have heard and have seen;
The God of peace you have received,
Everything that ever has been.
