Sheep Story

orchidee



Tune: Cross of Jesus

('Come thou long expected Jesus')

Matthew 25 v.31-40

********

Lord, when you come in your glory

Sheep and goats there then shall be

Grant we hear your words of welcome

Come sheep to your lasting home

 

You blessed of my father, you be

Inherit the kingdom, see

Prepared for you from foundation

Of the word, for you, eah one

 

For you did me serve, when you did

Unto least, my love not hid

To them, but helped hungry, thirsty

Strangers, and those who poor be

 

Gave them clothing, and did visit

Those ill or in prison, it

Was no chore or heavy burden

So to aid your fellow men

 

Though you then, you righteous, shall ask

When did we perform these tasks?

I the king shall unto you say

You did it to me those days

 

Those days when you did the least serve

From your service did not swerve

In so doing, you did it to

Me, served me, yes, even you

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. We know service and helping is not just for Christmas, but all year round. We can do what we can, even to the least persons - whoever the 'least' ones may be. We can say in an unselfish way 'That's my good deed(s) done for today'.
