Whatever is noble, Whatever is just, If there be any virtue and praise, Do this then, you must: Think on these things. Whatever is lovely, Whatever is pure, If there be any virtue and praise, Always be sure To ponder these things. Whatever is of good report, Whatever things are true, If there be any virtue and praise, This then you must do: Dwell on these things. Rejoice in the Lord always! And again I say, rejoice! Show your gentle spirit to all men For the Lord is very near - The Lord is very near. Words & Music: Jerry Dan Deutschendorf
