Exhorting Blessings
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Encourage one another,
Build up as you are doing;
For your sister and brother,
Whatever they’re pursuing.
Respect those who do labor,
In the Lord to admonish;
Peace in love for your neighbor,
Help what they will accomplish.
I urge you to admonish,
But be patient with them all;
Encourage those who anguish,
Pick them up after they fall.
Comfort the timid and the weak,
Be patient with everyone;
Guiding of those who may seek,
Unto the light of the Son.
Pay none evil for evil,
But in doing what is good;
Avoid works of the devil,
Remembering as Christ would.
