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'.
