Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice.
Let your moderation be known unto all men; the Lord is at hand.
Be careful for nothing, but in ev’ry thing by pray’r and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God;
And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall
keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say rejoice.
PHILIPPIANS 4: 4–7
