He came before, as promised of old.
Christ came before as prophets had told.
He came, knowing He would be “sold”
But He came to break sin’s hold!
He’ll come again as a King, bold.
Christ will come from streets of gold.
He’ll come again His faithful to enfold.
Oh, be hot, my Friend, not warm or cold.
His coming may not your chart uphold.
Christ’s coming may not fit our small mold.
His return may not be (as thought) “two-fold”
But He comes Friend. Be ready to behold.
Read the Book; make it your stronghold.
Do not this poor prophecy rhyme scold.
Reading helps to remove the blindfold.
Some charts border on the over-bold. – eab, 3/17/08

“Jesus Bids Us Shine” (1868)
Jesus bids us shine
With a pure, clear light,
Like a little candle
Burning in the night.
In this world of darkness
So let us shine—
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
Jesus bids us shine,
First of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it,
If our light grows dim.
He looks down from Heaven
To see us shine—
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
Jesus bids us shine,
Then, for all around;
Many kinds of darkness
In the world are found—
Sin and want and sorrow;
So we must shine—
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
