Matthew 17:8

• [Mat 17:8] Jesus Only

  What tho’ clouds are hov’ring o’er me, And I seem to walk alone— Longing ’mid my cares and crosses, For the joys that now are flown— If I’ve Jesus, “Jesus only,” Then my sky will have a gem; He’s a Sun of brightest splendor, And the Star of Bethlehem. What tho’ all my earthly journey Bringeth naught but weary hours, And, in grasping for life’s roses, Thorns I find instead of flow’rs— If I’ve Jesus, “Jesus only,” I possess a cluster rare; He’s the “Lily of the Valley,” And the “Rose of Sharon” fair. What tho’ all my heart is yearning For the loved of long ago— Bitter lessons, sadly learning From the shadowy page of woe— If I’ve Jesus, “Jesus only,” He’ll be with me to the end; And, unseen by mortal vision, Angel bands will o’er me bend. When I soar to realms of glory And an entrance I await, If I whisper, “Jesus only!” Wide will ope the pearly gate; When I join the heavenly chorus, And the angel hosts I see, Precious Jesus, “Jesus only,” Will my theme of rapture be.

• [Mat 17:8] Jesus Only, Let Me See

  For salvation full and free, Purchased once on Calvary, Christ alone shall be my plea— Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain Jesus only, let me see, Jesus only, none save He, Then my song shall ever be— Jesus! Jesus only! He my Guide from day to day, As I journey on life’s way; Close beside Him let me stay— Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain May my model ever be Christ the Lord, and none save He, That the world may see in me Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain He shall reign from shore to shore, His the glory evermore— Heav’n and earth shall bow before Jesus! Jesus only. Refrain

Matthew 25:7

• [Mat 25:7] Behold The Bridegroom Cometh

  Behold the Bridegroom cometh in The middle of the night, And blest is he whose loins are girt, Whose lamp is burning bright; But woe to that dull servant, whom The Master shall surprise With lamp untrimmed, unburning and With slumber in his eyes. Do thou, my soul, beware, beware, Lest thou in sleep sink down, Lest thou be given o’er to death, And lose the golden crown; But see that thou be sober, with A watchful eye, and thus Cry—‘Holy, holy, holy God, Have mercy upon us.’ That day, the day of fear, shall come; My soul, slack not thy toil, But light thy lamp, and feed it well, And make it bright with oil; Who knowest not how soon may sound The cry at eventide, ‘Behold the Bridegroom comes! 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.

• [Mat 25:7] Will Jesus Find Us Watching?

  When Jesus comes to reward His servants, Whether it be noon or night, Faithful to Him will He find us watching, With our lamps all trimmed and bright? Refrain O can we say we are ready, brother? Ready for the soul’s bright home? Say, will He find you and me still watching, Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come? If, at the dawn of the early morning, He shall call us one by one, When to the Lord we restore our talents, Will He answer thee—“Well done”? Refrain Have we been true to the trust He left us? Do we seek to do our best? If in our hearts there is naught condemns us, We shall have a glorious rest. Refrain Blessèd are those whom the Lord finds watching, In His glory they shall share; If He shall come at the dawn or midnight, Will He find us watching there? Refrain
