Fred Neuenschwander
From God all blessings flow
Rest assured this is so
Evermore we surely know it
Do we really show it?
Now is the accepted time
Ever help us Lord to use this time
United we should stand
Even as one Christian band
Never cease to love one another
Such is the way of sister and brother
Christ is our best friend
He loves us to the end
Walk in His ways
And serve Him all our days
Never forget He died fo us
Do not forget He rose again for us
Easter is now very near.

Fred Neuenschwander lived most of his adult life near Isabel, Kansas, and
taught the Bible class at the Methodist Church 25 years.
Neighborhood kids visited him often to hear stories of his early years in
the "old" country and the early days of his "new" country.
Fred shared his poetry with many of the Church congregation by quietly
handing a copy to them on Sunday morning.
