Always rejoice (Alternate)

Always rejoice,
Unceasingly pray,
In everything give thanks.
(repeat)

For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus,
The will of God in Christ for you.
Therefore always rejoice, unceasingly pray,
In everything give thanks.

Do not quench the Spirit,
Do not despise prophecies,
But prove all things,
Hold fast to what is good,
Abstain from every kind of evil.
(Repeat 1st and 2nd stanzas)
