Loving and Working
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
You do not need me to write you,
When concerning brotherly love;
It has been taught by God as true,
Through the blessings from up above.
Love one another we were taught,
All brothers and sisters indeed;
Do this more to increase your thought,
Spreading the love that others need.
Aspire to live quietly,
And keep in mind of your affairs;
Work with your hands diligently,
Instructing the love that God shares.
So that you may walk properly,
Being dependent on no one;
Before others as brotherly,
Walking in the path of God’s Son.
