Matthew 25:21

• [Mat 25:21] Hark! A Voice Divides The Sky

  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!”

  “Servant of God, well done! 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! Praise be thy new employ; And while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Savior’s joy.

• [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.

Refrain It may be a time of sorrow, When the Bridegroom comes; If our oil we hope to borrow, When the Bridegroom comes. In the night, that solemn night, Will our lamps be burning bright, When the Bridegroom comes? Refrain Oh, there’ll be a glorious meeting, When the Bridegroom comes; And a hallelujah greeting, When the Bridegroom comes. In the night, that joyful night, With our lamps all burning bright, When the Bridegroom comes. Refrain

  Precious soul, prepare for the midnight call, “Be ready when the Bridegroom comes”; For the solemn change is awaiting all, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes. Refrain Oh, be ready when the Bridegroom comes! Oh, be ready when the Bridegroom comes! Will your lamp be burning at the Lord’s returning? Be ready when the Bridegroom comes. Like the virgins wise fill your lamps with oil, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes; Let not sin your faithful efforts foil, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes. Refrain Then avail yourself of a full supply, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes; Never idle sit till your lamp burns dry, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes. Refrain Then awake, dear soul, you’re in sin’s dark night, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes; Let your lamp burn bright with a clear, good light, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes. Refrain Do not sleep, pour soul, till your lamp goes out— Be ready when the Bridegroom comes; Till the Lord returns with a mighty shout, Be ready when the Bridegroom comes. Refrain

• [Mat 25:1] Ye Virgin Souls, Arise

  Ye virgin souls, arise, With all the dead awake Unto salvation wise, Oil in your vessels take; Upstarting at the midnight cry, “Behold the heavenly Bridegroom nigh!” He comes, He comes, to call The nations to His bar, And raise to glory all Who fit for glory are; Made ready for your full reward, Go forth with joy to meet your Lord. Go, meet Him in the sky, Your everlasting Friend; Your Head to glorify, With all His saints ascend; Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace To see, without a veil, His face! Ye that have here received The unction from above, And in His Spirit lived, Obedient to His love, Jesus shall claim you for His bride: Rejoice with all the sanctified! The everlasting doors Shall soon the saints receive, Above yon angel powers In glorious joy to live; Far from a world of grief and sin, With God eternally shut in. Then let us wait to hear The trumpet’s welcome sound; To see our Lord appear, Watching let us be found; When Jesus doth the heavens bow, Be found—as, Lord, Thou find’st us now!

Ephesians 5:1

• [Eph 5:1] Be Now Imitators Of Your Lord

  Be now imitators of your Lord; You’re His children through His love outpoured. Let love show now in all you do, As Christ loved and gave Himself for you, As a sacrifice to God. All impurity put far away. Don’t be greedy; watch the things you say. These aren’t proper for God’s dear children; You will never gain the wealth of Heaven, In the kingdom of Christ and God. Don’t be taken in by empty words; Those who disobey, God’s wrath incur. You were darkness, but now you’re light; Let your life be good and true and right, And find out what pleases God. Stay away from fruitless deeds, Done in secret out of lust and greed. Let Christ’s light shine on all that’s dark, And expose what’s missed God’s mark. Bring to light every sinful act. So be careful in the things you do; Act with wisdom in whate’er you pursue. Make the most of every hour; Don’t let evil exercise its power. Be not foolish, but know God’s will. Let the Spirit now your life control, And let psalms and hymns flow from your soul. In your heart, speak to God and sing, Giving thanks for everything, In the name of Jesus Christ.

• [Eph 5:1] Heavenly Father, Send Thy Blessing

  Heav’nly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here, May they all, Thy Name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be, like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouchsafe a Child to be, Guide their steps, and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms and at Thy breast; Through life’s desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heav’nly rest. Spread Thy golden pinions o’er them, Holy Spirit, from above, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.
