The day approaches; Jesus soon is coming.

1307

	1.	The day approaches; Jesus soon is coming.
		Redeem the time; it must not slip away.
		Lord, make us ready for the cry: "Behold
		Him!"
		By using every moment of each day.
		When Jesus comes, will we go in to meet
		Him?
		When Jesus comes, will we from self have
		ceased?
		He's coming soon to take the wise ones
		with Him.
		Oh, let us not be left outside the feast.
	2.	Lord, help us to redeem these golden
		moments;
		Our vessels fill with ointment from above;
		Help us amen each trial and tribulation;
		Increase in us; make us abound in love.
		He's coming soon-these moments are so
		precious.
		The oil is here-Oh, let us buy the more.
		Amen the trials and welcome tribulations-
		The kingdom's ours through these
		afflictions sore.
	3.	Lord, ever turn us from our soulish pleasures
		To gaze upon Thy tender, loving face.
		Oh, keep us running forth to meet the
		Bridgegroom
		And patiently attending to the race.
		When Jesus comes, will we be in His
		presence?
		When Jesus comes, will we His face
		behold?
		Oh, let us not return to sloth and folly,
		But jealously His loving presence hold.
	4.	As His dear Bride, let us go forth to meet Him,
		Our lamps well-trimmed, our fires burning
		bright,
		Our vessels filled, our eyes set on His glory,
		To be with Him completely satisfied.
		Yes, satisfied-Chris and His Bride
		together,
		Yes, satisfied-throughout eternity.
		Oh, what a rest, what joy, what love, what
		favor
		To be His Bride when He comes to His
		feast!
