Verse 1
Whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are true,
Whatsoever things are just and whatsoever things are pure,
Contemplate what God is doing, fill you thought with what is real,
Acknowledge what remains eternal, reflect on the truth that heals.

Chorus
Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved, dearly beloved and longed for,
You are my joy; you are my crown; so stand fast in the Lord!

Verse 2
Whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever of good report,
If there be any virtue or any praise, think on the things of this sort.
God will give you all His goodness, God wll show you what He sees.
Know that all are safe in God’s care, this is the Truth that frees.

Chorus
And the peace of God which passes knowledge, keep your hearts and minds.
The peace of God shall  be with you, now and throughout all time.

Verse 3
Rejoice in the Lord, in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.
Be careful for nothing, make know your needs to the Infinite who is your source.
You can do all things through Christ the Lord, who always strengthens thee,
For my God shall supply all your needs by his riches, his riches in glory.

Chorus
Give praise to your Father for allness of good, praising with one blesses voice.
The grace of our Lord shall be with you.  Dearly beloved, rejoice!
