  Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go, Shining for the Savior with a steady glow; Bringing smiles to sad ones, wiping tears away, Make yourself a blessing every passing day.

Matthew 25:1

• [Mat 25:1] Behold The Bridegroom Draweth Nigh

  “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.

Refrain Watch ye, therefore, watch I say, Watch ye, therefore, watch and pray; Ye know not the hour, ye know not the day The Son of Man may come. Then all the foolish virgins Their need began to tell; And all the wise ones answered, Go ye to them that sell. The foolish virgins hastened, In darkness, fear, and shame, The wise ones ready waited, And lo the bridegroom came! Refrain Lord, Lord, unto us open, The foolish virgins cried; “I know ye not,” unto them The bridegroom’s voice replied. O Christians, learn the lesson, Your lamps be wise and trim, And when the Bridegroom cometh, Go gladly in with Him. Refrain

• [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.

• [Mat 25:4] World Is Sad With Hopes That Die, The

  The world is sad with hopes that die, With joys that gleam and then go by, And dim the mortal eyes that gaze On setting suns of parting days. Better the hope, the joy, the light For spiritual heart and sight! For they whose life is hid on high Shall never part and never die. They never part! that saintly band, Heirs of the heavenly, holy land; Whom God the Spirit hath made one With God the Father and the Son. They never die! the deathly strife But ushers them to glorious life: From their last enemy they gain Their birth to bliss, their end to pain. But woe to them whose hearts are given To joys and treasures not of Heaven; Their wild awaking is to shame, The second death in endless flame. O Jesu, teach our hearts to soar And grasp those things which are before, That after death our life may be The immortality with Thee!

  O Thou Who makest souls to shine With light from brighter worlds above, Now send Thy glistening dew divine On all who seek a Savior’s love! Do Thou Thy benediction give On all who teach, on all who learn, That all Thy Church may holier live, And every lamp more brightly burn. Give those that teach pure hearts and wise, Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer; Themselves first training for the skies, They best will raise their people there. Give those, who learn, the willing ear, The spirit meek, the guileless mind; Such gifts will make the lowliest here Far better than a kingdom find. O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep, That guide and guided both be one— One in the faithful watch they keep, Until this hurrying life be done.
