     "~PLAIN ~ AROUND THE YEAR~"

My summer has an end

And the mourning I might spend

My autumn days; but happily I know

Beyond this vale of time

A never changing climb

No autumn there, no winter storms 

that blow.

           ~Amish hymn~

                    

  

                            

Stay golden hour, oh stay thy fleeting

For ne're returns so fair a scene

The mellow moonlight's softly sleeping

All around us in silvery sheen

                                   ~Mennonite writings~

Oh hasten the hour, send down from above

The spirit of power, of knowledge and of love

  Of filial fear, of knowledge and grace

 Of wisdom and prayer, of joy and of praise.

                                              ~Mennonite prayer~

Preside over those in your charge

with kindness and meekness,

rather than subject them to fear and terror.

An oppressor does not rule long.

                             ~Mennonite song~

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.                                      3 John 1:2

Do good and leave behind you a moment of virtue 

the storms of time can never destroy

                                   ~early Mennonite proverb~

Bid the refreshing north wind wake

Say to the south wind blow

let every plant the pow'r partake

and all the garden grow.

                    ~Amish hymn~

If thou wouldst first thank God

For each good He bestows

Thou couldst not find the time

To murmur of woes.

                              ~Amish verse~

The floweret standing by the path

And brushing 'gainst thy feet

It is, if it doth touch thy heart

From God a greeting sweet

                            ~Mennonite song~

Life is onward~ never

look upon the past;

It would hold you ever in the clutches fast.

Life is onward~ prize it

In sunshine and it's storm

Oh do not despise it

In it's humblest form. 

            ~ Mennonite writings~

Be friendly to all and a burden to no one.

Let your manner be courteous, your forgiveness

willing, your promises true, and your speech wise.
