As you have always obeyed,
Not only in my presence;
But you have constantly prayed,
A lot more in my absence.

Work out your trembling and fear,
Because of your salvation;
Knowing that God will be near,
Giving a firm foundation.

For it is God who works in you,
His will for His good pleasure;
All of your work to pursue,
Bringing out the true treasure.

Do all things without grumbling,
That you may be innocent;
Withstand any murmuring,
Blameless and beneficent.

A child of God without flaw,
In a twisted generation;
Shining brightly on His Law.

Holding forth the Word of Life,
On the day of Christ, I am proud;
Neither labored in vain strife,
I will proclaim to the crowd.

Even if I am offered,
As a sacrificial drink;
My faith in Christ has buffered,
Continually righteously think.

I will rejoice and be glad,
Likewise, you shall also rejoice;
Never shall I feel so sad,
While lifting up my voice.
