Analysis of Thanksgiving and Prayer
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
I thank God remembering you,
Always in every prayer of mine;
While my heart and mind construe,
In thanking the Holy Divine.
For my joy is making request,
For fellowship in the Gospel;
Constantly increasing my zest,
With an outreach to the people.
Being confident of this thing,
That He began good work in you;
On that day what Christ will bring,
To completion what we pursue.
It is right for feeling this way,
Because I hold you in my heart;
Partakers of grace through each day,
That my bonds will never depart.
Confirm and defend the Gospel,
Because the Lord is my witness;
Continue as a disciple,
And ensuring that God will bless.
I yearn that you have affection,
In being great for Jesus Christ;
And a heavenly direction,
That allows you to be enticed.
And it is my prayer that your love,
May abound you yet more and more;
Knowledge and judgment from above,
Earthly desires to abhor.
Approve of what is excellent,
As you to be pure and blameless;
While you remain vigilant,
About things that cause to transgress.
Fruits of righteousness in your search,
That lets Jesus Christ to come through;
To the glory and praise in the church,
With positive thoughts will pursue.
