• [Mat 22:4] All Is Ready

  All is ready, the Master, said, All is ready, the feast is spread; Sweet His message of love to all, Yet how many will slight the call! Refrain Why, why, why will you die? Ask, and the Savior will freely forgive; Why, why, why will you die? Only a look, and your soul shall live. All is ready, He calleth still; Come, and welcome, whoever will; Bring your burdens of doubts and fears, Bring your sorrow, your cares and tears. Refrain Though His mercy prolongs your day, Time is precious, no more delay; Now He listens to hear your prayer, Haste the garment of praise to wear. Refrain Take the pardon His love bestows, Take the water of life that flows; Lo, He standeth beside the door: Hear the Spirit your hearts implore. Refrain

• [Mat 22:9] Where Cross The Crowded Ways Of Life

  Where cross the crowded ways of life, Where sound the cries of race and clan Above the noise of selfish strife, We hear your voice, O Son of Man. In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed thresholds dark with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, We catch the vision of Your tears. From tender childhood’s helplessness, From woman’s grief, man’s burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrow’s stress, Your heart has never known recoil. The cup of water given for You, Still holds the freshness of Your grace; Yet long these multitudes to view The sweet compassion of Your face. O Master, from the mountainside Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide; O tread the city’s streets again. Till sons of men shall learn Your love And follow where Your feet have trod, Till, glorious from Your Heaven above, Shall come the city of our God!

  “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.

• [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!

Now let all the heavens adore Thee, And saints and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal’s clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round Thy dazzling throne; Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath yet attained to hear What there is ours, but we rejoice and sing to Thee Our hymn of joy eternally.

• [Mat 25:10] Wake, O Wake, With Tidings Thrilling

  Wake, O wake! with tidings thrilling The watchmen all the air are filling, Arise, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight strikes! no more delaying, “The hour has come!” we hear them saying, Where are ye all, ye virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes in sight, Raise high your torches bright! Alleluya! The wedding swells loud and strong: Go forth and join the festal throng! Sion hears the watchmen shouting, Her heart leaps up with joy undoubting, She stands and waits with eager eyes; See her Friend from Heaven descending, Adorned with truth and grace unending! Her light burns clear, her star doth rise. Now come, Thou precious Crown, Lord Jesu, God’s own Son! Hosanna! Let us prepare to follow there, Where in Thy supper we may share. Every soul in Thee rejoices, From men and from angelic voices Be glory given to Thee alone! Now the gates of pearl receive us, Thy presence never more shall leave us, We stand with angels round Thy throne. Earth cannot give below The bliss Thou dost bestow. Alleluya! Grant us to raise to length of days, The triumph-chorus of Thy praise.

• [Mat 25:13] Glorious Gospel Train, The

  Are you at your station ready, For the near approaching train? Are you fully contemplating That a pass you will obtain? Is there some important matter, You have left behind undone, That will keep you hesitating, Till too late to make the run? Refrain O be ready for the glorious Gospel train, Quickly make your preparation, And your passport have in hand; O be ready for the glorious Gospel train, It will take you safely over, To the glory spirit land. Has your title been recorded, That no question can be made? Does your preparation warrant, That you shall not be delayed? When you see the headlight gleamings, As around the curves they climb, Have you any fears and doubtings, That you’ll not get in on time? Refrain Are your garments nicely fitted, That accepted you may be, As a guest on board for Heaven, Trav’ling for eternity? Do you hold the bloodstained banner, Of Emmanuel in your hand, With your claims inscribed upon it, And a ride for Heav’n demand? Refrain ’Tis the only signal, brother, That will make your passage sure, That will stop the mighty engine, And a seat to you secure; That will give you close connection, And a never failing hand, That will take you safely over, To the glory spirit land.

• [Mat 25:13] Little Children, Advent Bids You

  Little children, Advent bids you Meet your Lord upon His way; Watch, for now the night is waning, Soon will dawn the endless day. Little children, Jesus bids you Daily pray, “Thy kingdom come”; Watch, and wait for His appearing, Till He come to take you home. Little children, He anoints you With His spirit from above; See then that your lamps be burning With the fire of faith and love. Little children, when we think not We shall hear the awful cry, “Go ye forth to meet the Bridegroom; Haste, for Jesus draweth nigh.” Little children, they shall meet Him, Faithful children of the light; They whose lamps are trimmed and burning, And their garments pure and white. O how blest to fall before Him, O how blest His praise to sing. Love Him, serve Him, and adore Him, In the city of our King.

• [Mat 25:13] O Son Of God, We Wait For Thee

  O Son of God, we wait for Thee, In love for Thine appearing; We know Thou sittest on the throne, And we Thy Name are bearing, Who trusts in Thee, may joyful be, And see Thee, Lord, descending, To bring us bliss unending. We wait for Thee ’mid toil and pain, In weariness and sighing; But glad that Thou our guilt hast borne, And canceled it by dying; Hence cheerfully may we with Thee Take up our cross and bear it, Till we relief inherit. We wait for Thee; here Thou hast won Our hearts to hope and duty; But while our spirits feel Thee near, Our eyes would see Thy beauty; We fain would be at rest with Thee In peace and joy supernal, In glorious life eternal. We wait for Thee; sure Thou wilt come; The time is swiftly nearing; In this we also now rejoice, And long for Thine appearing. Oh, bliss ’twill be when Thee we see, Homeward Thy people bringing, With transport and with singing!

• [Mat 25:13] Wingèd Herald Of The Day, The

  The wingèd herald of the day Proclaims the morn’s approaching ray: And Christ the Lord our souls excites, And so to endless life invites. Take up thy bed, to each He cries, Who sick or wrapped in slumber lies; And chaste and just and sober stand And watch: My coming is at hand. With earnest cry, with tearful care, Call we the Lord to hear our prayer; While supplication, pure and deep, Forbids each chastened heart to sleep. Do Thou, O Christ, our slumber wake: Do Thou the chains of darkness break; Purge Thou our former sins away, And in our souls new light display. All laud to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete.
