  “Behold, the Bridegroom draweth nigh” Hear ye the oft repeated cry? Go forth into the midnight dim; For blest are they whom He shall find With ready heart and watchful mind; Go forth, my soul, to Him. “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh by,” The call is echoed from the sky: Go forth, ye servants, watch and wait: The slothful cannot join His train; No careless ones can entrance gain; Awake, my soul, ’tis late. The wise will plead with one accord, “O holy, holy, holy Lord, On us Thy quick’ning grace bestow, That none may reach the door too late, When Thou shalt enter at the gate And to Thy kingdom go.” “Behold, the Bridegroom draweth near,” The warning falls on every ear: That night of dread shall come to all: Behold, my soul, thy lamp so dim, Rise, rise the smoking flax to trim; Soon shalt thou hear His call.

• [Mat 25:1] When Descending From The Sky

  When descending from the sky The Bridegroom shall appear; And the solemn midnight cry, Shall call professors near: How the sound our hearts will damp! How will shame o’erspread each face! If we only have a lamp, Without the oil of grace. Foolish virgins then will wake And seek for a supply; But in vain the pains they take To borrow or to buy: Then with those they now despise, Earnestly they’ll wish to share; But the best, among the wise, Will have no oil to spare. Wise are they, and truly blest, Who then shall ready be But despair will seize the rest, And dreadful misery: Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt, Though in lies our trust we put; Now our lamp of hope is out, The door of mercy shut. If they then presume to plead, “Lord open to us now; We on earth have heard and prayed, And with thy saints did bow:” He will answer from his throne, “Though you with My people mixed, Yet to Me you ne’er were known, Depart, your doom is fixed.” O that none who worship here May hear that word, Depart! Lord impress a godly fear On each professor’s heart: Help us, Lord, to search the camp, Let us not ourselves beguile; Trusting to a dying lamp Without a stock of oil.

Arise! Go forth to meet the bride.’ Beware, my soul; beware, beware, Lest thou in slumber lie, And like, the five, remain without, And knock, and vainly cry; But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed, And Christ shall gird thee on His own bright wedding robe of light— The glory of the Son.

  Hark! A voice divides the sky, happy are the faithful dead! In the Lord who sweetly die, they from all their toils are freed; Them the Spirit hath declared blessed, unutterably blessed; Jesus is their great reward, Jesus is their endless rest. Followed by their works, they go where their Head has gone before; Reconciled by grace below, grace has opened mercy’s door; Justified through faith alone, here they knew their sins forgiven, Here they laid their burden down, hallowed, and made fit for heaven. Who can now lament the lot of a saint in Christ deceased? Let the world, who know us not, call us hopeless and unblessed: When from flesh the spirit freed hastens homeward to return, Mortals cry, “A man is dead!” Angels sing, “A child is born!” Born into the world above, they our happy brother greet, Bear him to the throne of love, place him at the Savior’s feet; Jesus smiles, and says, “Well done, good and faithful servant thou; Enter, and receive thy crown, reign with Me triumphant now.” Angels catch the approving sound, bow, and bless the just award; Hail the heir with glory crowned, now rejoicing with his Lord: Fuller joys ordained to know, waiting for the general doom, When the archangel’s trump shall blow, “Rise, ye dead, to judgment come!”

Rest from thy loved employ; The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master’s joy.” The voice at midnight came; He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame: He fell, but felt no fear. Tranquil amid alarms, It found him on the field, A veteran, slumbering on his arms, Beneath his red cross shield. His sword was in his hand, Still warm with recent fight, Ready that moment, at command, Through rock and steel to smite. The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And, life’s long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done!

  O God of mercy, God of might, In love and pity infinite, Teach us, as ever in Thy sight, To live our life to Thee. And Thou Who cam’st on earth to die, That fallen man might live thereby, O hear us, for to Thee we cry In hope, O Lord, to Thee. Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught, To feel for those Thy blood hath bought; That every word and deed and thought May work a work for Thee. For all are brethren, far and wide, Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died; Then teach us, whatsoe’er betide, To love them all in Thee. In sickness, sorrow, want or care, Whate’er it be, ’tis ours to share; May we, when help is needed, there Give help as unto Thee. And may Thy Holy Spirit move All those who live, to live in love, Till Thou shalt greet in Heaven above All those who live to Thee.

• [Mat 25:40] O, Sing We A Carol

  O, sing we a carol all blithe and free, And fit for our Christmas morn, For the world is as cold as the cold can be, Though its Lord on this day was born; Though its Lord on this day was born: ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door? Refrain ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driven from a Christian’s door? And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door? For the angel’s song at the birth of Christ, With tidings of joy began; And it rang with a glory to God in the highest, And a brotherhood true for man; Yet ’twas winter time for rich and poor, When the shepherds came to the stable door. Yet ’twas winter time for the rich and poor, Refrain True sages were they who to Bethlehem led, Brought frankincense, myrrh, and gold, Which they offered to Christ on His manger bed, With a reverent love untold. Yet ’twas winter time for rich and poor, When the wise men knelt at the stable door. Yet ’twas winter time for the rich and poor, Refrain Cannot we make our offerings now to Christ’s need, When His poor all around we see? “Inasmuch as to them we have done the deed,” He will say, “Ye have done to Me.” He will say, “Ye have done to Me.” ’Tis a wintry time for the rich and poor, And who should be driv’n from a Christian’s door? Refrain

• [Mat 25:40] O Jesus, Master, When Today

  O Jesus, Master, when today, I meet, along the crowded way, My burdened brothers—mine and Thine— May then through me Thy Spirit shine. To cheer them in their onward way, Till evening ends the varied day, To kindle so a growing light, Where else might be but gloom and night. Grant, too, that they my need may know, As side by side we onward go— An equal need of kindly thought, And love like that which Thou hast taught. Then give our hands a touch divine, And to our voices tones like Thine, As side by side we onward go, Nor need each other’s name to know.

• [Mat 25:40] Others

  Lord, help me live from day to day In such a self-forgetful way That even when I kneel to pray My prayer shall be for—Others. Refrain Others, Lord, yes others, Let this my motto be, Help me to live for others, That I may live like Thee. Help me in all the work I do To ever be sincere and true And know that all I’d do for You Must needs be done for—Others. Refrain Let “Self” be crucified and slain And buried deep: and all in vain May efforts be to rise again, Unless to live for—Others. Refrain And when my work on earth is done, And my new work in Heav’n’s begun, May I forget the crown I’ve won, While thinking still of—Others. Refrain

• [Mat 25:40] Poor Wayfaring Man Of Grief, A

  A poor wayfaring Man of grief Hath often crossed me on my way, Who sued so humbly for relief That I could never answer nay. I had not power to ask his name, Whereto he went, or whence he came; Yet there was something in his eye That won my love; I knew not why. Once, when my scanty meal was spread, He entered; not a word he spake, Just perishing for want of bread. I gave him all; he blessed it, brake, And ate, but gave me part again. Mine was an angel’s portion then, For while I fed with eager haste, The crust was manna to my taste. I spied him where a fountain burst Clear from the rock; his strength was gone. The heedless water mocked his thirst; He heard it, saw it hurrying on. I ran and raised the suff’rer up; Thrice from the stream he drained my cup, Dipped and returned it running o’er; I drank and never thirsted more. ’Twas night; the floods were out; it blew A winter hurricane aloof. I heard his voice abroad and flew To bid him welcome to my roof. I warmed and clothed and cheered my guest And laid him on my couch to rest; Then made the earth my bed, and seemed In Eden’s garden while I dreamed. Stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death, I found him by the highway side. I roused his pulse, brought back his breath, Revived his spirit, and supplied Wine, oil, refreshment—he was healed. I had myself a wound concealed, But from that hour forgot the smart, And peace bound up my broken heart. In pris’n I saw him next, condemned To meet a traitor’s doom at morn. The tide of lying tongues I stemmed, And honored him ’mid shame and scorn. My friendship’s utmost zeal to try, He asked if I for him would die. The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill, But my free spirit cried, “I will!” Then in a moment to my view The stranger started from disguise. The tokens in His hands I knew; The Savior stood before mine eyes. He spake, and my poor name He named, “Of Me thou hast not been ashamed. These deeds shall thy memorial be; Fear not, thou didst them unto Me.”

• [Mat 25:40] Somebody Else Needs A Blessing

  We’re “counting” the blessings, our joys we record, The wonderful mercies like sunbeams outpoured; But let us remember while praising the Lord, Somebody else needs a blessing. Refrain Somebody else needs a blessing, Somebody else needs a blessing; We’ll let our lights shine to His glory divine, Somebody else needs a blessing. We’ll go, like the Savior, to comfort the sad; With love’s healing portion we’ll make others glad, Until, with fresh verdure, life’s deserts are clad; Somebody else needs a blessing. Refrain We’ll tell the old story again and again; Salvation for sinners, good will unto men, Till Gospel songs echo from mountain to glen; Somebody else needs a blessing. Refrain

• [Mat 25:40] This Is Our Endeavor

  Lonely hearts to comfort, Weary lives to cheer— This is our endeavor, This our mission here; Seeking out the lost ones On the mountains cold, We would gladly bring them To the Shepherd’s fold. Pressing on together, Doing good to all, In the name of Jesus, Lifting those who fall; To the poor and friendless Give with open hand— This is our endeavor, This the Lord’s command. Onward, ever onward, Trusting in the Lord, Look we for the promise Of a blest reward, Robes and palms of glory, Mansions bright and fair, Welcome from the Savior, Rest for ever there.

• [Mat 25:40] We All Can Do Something For Jesus

  Our school is a vineyard, a garden of truth, Where all can do something for Jesus; And though we are just in the morning of youth, We all can do something for Jesus; The deep, rolling river that flows to the sea Is made of the brooklet that sparkles so free; A lesson, dear children, for you and for me, We all can do something for Jesus. The deep, rolling river that flows to the sea Is made of the brooklet that sparkles so free. Refrain We all can do something for Jesus, Something, something, We all can do something for Jesus, Something for Jesus. A word to the erring, of kindness and love, May often remind them of Jesus; A song of our beautiful mansion above, May lead a poor wand’rer to Jesus; The acorn, when planted, though small it may be, How quickly it grows to a wide spreading tree; A lesson, dear children, for you and for me, We all can do something for Jesus. The acorn, when planted, though small it may be, How quickly it grows to a wide spreading tree. Refrain Oh! sweeter, far sweeter, than riches or fame, To feel we are working for Jesus; The cup of cold water we give in His Name, Will bring us the blessings of Jesus; The brook and the acorn, the leaf and the tree Are teaching a lesson to you and to me; No matter how simple the effort may be, We all can do something for Jesus. The brook and the acorn, the leaf and the tree Are teaching a lesson to you and to me. Refrain

When the harvest sheaves ingathered Fill thy barns with store, To thy God and to thy brother Give the more.

• [Mat 25:41] And Will The Judge Descend?

  And will the Judge descend, And must the dead arise And not a single soul escape His all discerning eyes? And from His righteous lips Shall this dread sentence sound And through the numerous guilty throng Spread black despair around: “Depart from Me, accursed, To everlasting flame, For rebel angels first prepared, Where mercy never came”? How will my heart endure The terrors of that day When earth and Heav’n before His face Astonished shrink away? But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark from the Gospel’s cheering sound What joyful tidings spread: Ye sinners, seek His grace Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross And find salvation there. So shall that curse remove, By which the Savior bled; And the last awful day shall pour His blessings on your head.

• [Mat 25:41] That Awful Day Will Surely Come

  That awful day will surely come, Th’appointed hour makes haste, When I must stand before my Judge, And pass the solemn test. Thou lovely Chief of all my joys, Thou Sovereign of my heart! How could I bear to hear Thy voice Pronounce the sound, “Depart!” The thunder of that dismal word Would so torment my ear, ’Twould tear my soul asunder, Lord, With most tormenting fear. What! to be banished from my Life, And yet forbid to die! To linger in eternal pain, Yet death forever fly! O, wretched state of deep despair! To see my God remove, And fix my doleful station where I must not taste His love. Jesus, I throw my arms around, And hang upon Thy breast; Without a gracious smile from Thee My spirit cannot rest. O, tell me that my worthless name Is graven on Thy hands; Show me some promise in Thy book Where my salvation stands! Give me one kind assuring word To sink my fears again, And cheerfully my soul shall wait Her threescore years and ten.

• [Mat 25:41] Woe To The Men On Earth Who Dwell

  Woe to the men on earth who dwell, Nor dread the Almighty’s frown, When God doth all His wrath reveal, And shower His judgments down! Sinners, expect those heaviest showers, To meet your God prepare; For, lo! the seventh angel pours His phial in the air. Lo! from their seats the mountains leap, The mountains are not found; Transported far into the deep, And in the ocean drowned. Who then shall live, and face the throne, And face the Judge severe? When heaven and earth are fled and gone, O where shall I appear? Now, only now, against that hour We may a place provide; Beyond the grave, beyond the power Of hell, our spirits hide: Firm in the all destroying shock, May view the final scene; For, lo! the everlasting Rock Is cleft to take us in.

• [Mat 25:42] O How Can They Look Up To Heaven?

  O how can they look up to Heaven, And ask for mercy there, Who never soothed the poor man’s pang, Nor dried the orphan’s tear? The dread omnipotence of Heaven We every hour provoke; Yet still the mercy of our God Withholds the avenging stroke. And Christ was still the healing friend Of poverty and pain; And never did imploring soul His garment touch in vain. May we with humble effort take Example from above; And thence the active lesson learn Of charity and love! But chiefly be the labor ours To shade the early plant; To guard from ignorance and guilt The infancy of want; To graft the virtues, ere the bud The canker worm has gnawed, And teach the rescued child to lisp Its gratitude to God.
