Motivation (3) - Future Reward

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

2 Corinthians 5 v.9-10

*********

Labour on, your aim be

To here be pleasing, see

Unto you Lord, acceptable

Things do, and heed His call

 

For we must all appear

Is made apparent, clear

Before Christ's judgement seat, that we

Shall receive, even me

 

Shall receive the rewards

Of things we did towards

Christ while we were in physical

Body, just judgement all

 

Whether they good or bad

The things that we sure had

Done in our life in earth's time span

Each child, woman, and man

 

Grant we in Christ be found

So praises shall resound

Forgiveness is in Him alone

For us He does atone

    I pressed some button by mistake while typing this up. Looks OK though. Not worked out how to get it back to 'normal'.

  • Goldfinch60

    Looks Ok to me as are the words.

    • orchidee

      Thanks Gold.

    • Michael Edwards

      Looks pretty normal to me too - as much as the work of any of us medieval veterans is ever normal .

        Thanks Michael. The text came up different as I was typing it, then bingo! it appeared as normal! Back to medieval hymns now! Well, some modern too, but I'm not keen on ones like 'I wanna scream it out from every mountain top'. You know - that well known song (??). Miss Berles screams it every day!
