Tune: Unter Herrscher
('Come ye faithful, raise the anthem')
2 Peter 3 v.10-15
*******
But will come the day of the Lord
Shall be as says in His word
As a thief in the night, sudden
Shall come to all women, men
Then things of the old shall vanish
Enemies He shall banish
Then the heavens shall pass away
With great noise, none can allay
And elements melt, fervent heat
Weeds separated from wheat
The earth also and works therein
Shall be burned up, gone be sin
Seeing these things shall be dissolved
What to do, what you resolved?
But to live in holy way still
Godliness, turn from ill-will
Looking for the day of the Lord
It shall come to pass, His word
For too the heavens they shall pass
Be on fire, prophecies tell
Gone shall be the old for ever
Yet our hope none can sever
For according to His promise
There be new things of true bliss
For we look for new heavens, earth
Where all worship, give Him worth
Wherein dwells righteousness true, sure
The Lord is King evermore
So let us be diligent, seek
His kingdom of humble, meek
Live, so that you of Him be found
In peace, and praises resound
Without spot and blameless, holy
Acceptable to Him be
And account His longsuffering
Is salvation, to Him sing

Thanks Laura.
A great hymn, Steve! A fine job!
Thanks Christina.
Thanks STEVE ~ Love the HYMN and all the activity in and around the robed choir ! The subject of your POEM is an important one ~ but oft misunderstood and neglected. The SECOND COMING of our Lord & Saviour ~ JESUS CHRIST ! By FAITH I believe there is a Spiritual Dimension where the GODHEAD dwells and controls and sustains the Physical Universe. Living Human Beings can only reach this dimension through prayer ~ we can only travel there when our Spirit is released from our body after Physical Death. But GOD can interact with the Physical Universe ~ through Angels ~ The Holy Spirit & Jesus ~ The Son of GOD. In fact JESUS lived on Earth in Human Form ! AD O through to AD 33 After His Resurrection (AD 33) He ascended back to Heaven as our Redeemer & Representative ~ AMEN
The BIBLE teaches that Our Creator GOD introduced the Human Race (created in His Likeness) a few thousand years ago. After several hundred years of dealing with His chosen race the JEWS ~ He sent JESUS to atone for us on the Cross and opened up the way for all Humans to have a relationship with Him (GOD) and not just the JEWS. The BIBLE teaches that just as GOD sent Jesus the first time to Redeem the World ~ Jesus will come a second time ~ In the AIR and all those who believe (and the DEAD in CHRIST) will rise to be forever with the LORD ~ this is the RAPTURE which PETER speaks about ! Even though I am a qualified Scientist (FRSC etc) I have no problem in accepting and understanding ~ BY FAITH ~ The Spiritual Dimension where GOD dwells and the fact that GOD will again intervene in HUMAN HISTORY in the Second Coming in the Air to claim His Bride "The Church" of which all redeemed Christians are Members ~ Thanks for raising the SUBJECT ~ Yours BROTHER BRIAN ~ AMEN
Thanks Brian for all this. Are you St Paul's brother - in the natural sense too?! Yes, science need not be a barrier to religion/Christianity/spirituality. I'm a Fellow too - FRSPS - Fellow of the Royal society to Promote Singing (or Caterwauls. lol)!
Amen.
Thanks Gold. I can't say eschatology (eska-tology) after a sherry or three!
