Before the Lord’s appearing.

Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,
Then trim your lamps with godly fear;
The Master’s coming draweth near,
Let every lamp be burning.

The last great message spurning,
We’ll rest our living faith upon
His promise of returning.

We cannot be mistaken;
Though dangers rise on every side,
We shall not be forsaken.
4 Then let good works with faith appear,
To help the world around us;
Obedience bring the blessing near
When faith has firmly bound us. [Refrain} Topics: Christan Life Watchfulness Tune Title: DILIGENCE (Belden)

And of the news that came to them
From angels in the air:

Fills all the world today;
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
The angels sing alway.

O sing of fragrant flowers breath,
And of the sinless Boy:
For now the flowers of Nazareth
In every heart may grow;
Now spreads the fame of His dear name
On all the winds that blow.

Its glory and dismay;
Of Him who hung upon the tree,
And took our sins away:
For He who died on Calvary
Is risen from the grave;
And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
Is mighty now to save. Topics: Jesus Christ Life and Ministry Tune Title: KINGSFOLD

With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, Thine only crown:
O sacred head, what glory,
What bliss till now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call Thee mine.
2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee. Topics: Jesus Christ Sufferings and Death Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE
