('Jerusalem the golden')
Matthew 25 v.31-40 parts
********
When Christ shall come in glory
There justice, judgement be
And then a separation
Of they in each nation
The sheep and goats divided
And to the sheep, Christ said
Come, you by my Father blessed
To kingdom's promised rest
Now this kingdom inherit
It has been prepared yet
From foundation of the world
Now to you it unfurled
But how? What did the sheep do
To obtain blessings true?
They served Christ in the least ones
Among His daughters, sons
They gave food to the hungry
And drink to the thirsty
They too did welcome strangers
Moved by compassion's stirs
And they did supply clothing
To poor, did garments bring
Did visit sick and prisoner
Comforts on them confer
For in each of these things they
Did serve Christ in their day
No one too mean or small, for
They showed love to Christ sure
In tending to each person
Now their reward, each one
To share His kingdom ever
His presence leaves them ne'er

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.6.7.6. 7.6.7.6. metre. I sang the hymn in the clip in an old church. Sun's rays shone through the windows, lighting up the dust in the air, though the building had been cleaned! It felt atmospheric.
