The age is turning! Saints

awake!

The Lord returns to judgment make!

Behind the scenes our God is reigning

Heaven’s will on earth attaining.

Don’t with past gains be satisfied;

Recalculate in judgment’s light.

The world forsake

with its ties; leave all behind.

“Who will overcome?” “Lord

here am I!”

Overcomers

steadfast in heart

From the Lamb’s lead never depart.

Love with all our heart

all our strength

faithful to death;

Serve in resurrection fragrantly.

Christ

the church—life’s meaning we see;

We’ll spend all our being gladly

Build God’s temple and city grand

God one with man;

New Jerus’lem radiant be!

As we pursue

and trials face

Your sov’reign mercy we can trace.

We’re open vessels

consecrated.

Living Spring

come permeate us.

Inscribe Your law

our mind renew;

Come sanctify us wholly

too.

We’ll watch

buy oil now

“today

” feast’s entrance gain;

Virgins

echo You—“O Lord

come soon!”

Today You call for instruments

Who will respond

Your heart reprint

Be vital

fervent

overcoming

Time redeeming ev’ry instant.

As stewards

timely food dispense;

As servants

wisely to invest;

Perfected

functioning

we build corp’ rately

Blend

coordinate

new man to be.

These final days

Your call we heed

As remnants

standing mightily.

The arrow’s fired; the fight’s decided;

The white horse in triumph rideth.

High gospel to all earth declare!

We’ll migrate

spread

His witness bear;

We’ll forward race with bold strides

stake our whole lives

Kingdom’s entrance share

glory fore’er!
