The day approaches; Jesus soon is coming

1
The day approaches; Jesus soon is coming.
Redeem the time; it must not slip away.
Lord, make us ready for the cry: “Behold Him!”
By using every moment of each day.
  When Jesus comes, will we go in to meet Him?
When Jesus comes, will we from self have ceased?
He’s coming soon to take the wise ones with Him.
  Oh, let us not be left outside the feast.
2
Lord, help us to redeem these golden moments;
Our vessels fill with ointment from above;
Help us amen each trial and tribulation;
Increase in us; make us abound in love.
  He’s coming soon—these moments are so precious.
The oil is here—Oh, let us buy the more.
Amen the trials and welcome tribulations—
  The kingdom’s ours through these afflictions sore.
3
Lord, ever turn us from our soulish pleasures
To gaze upon Thy tender, loving face.
Oh, keep us running forth to meet the Bridegroom
And patiently attending to the race.
  When Jesus comes, will we be in His presence?
When Jesus comes, will we His face behold?
Oh, let us not return to sloth and folly,
  But jealously His loving presence hold.
4
As His dear Bride, let us go forth to meet Him,
Our lamps well-trimmed, our fires burning bright,
Our vessels filled, our eyes set on His glory,
To be with Him completely satisfied.
  Yes, satisfied—Christ and His Bride together.
Yes, satisfied—throughout eternity.
Oh, what a rest, what joy, what love, what favor
  To be His Bride when He comes to His feast!

当主耶稣第二次再来时,我们能否得到祂“你这忠信良善的管家”的夸赞?当祂再来时,我们能否坦然无惧的面对祂的审判?当祂再来时,我们可够资格做祂的新妇?…哦,主啊,求你赐给我们智慧的心,做个精明的童女,赎回光阴,迎接你的再来!

My prayer: Lord make this day count in Your eyes...

I repent of wasted time. We must pay the price to buy the oil in order for our vessels to be filled! Just keep coming to Him again and again and again.... Every morning of each day... Do not allow your time to be usurped.

"Oh, let us not return to sloth and folly,

But jealously His loving presence hold".

This is a beautiful song and helps one to think about the things that really matter. I'm curious as to who the author of the lyrics is. Would someone happen to know?

This song indeed makes me cry. Oh, what a rest, what joy, what love, what favor to be HIs Bride when He comes to HIs feast. It will be a GLORIOUS DAY to be with our dear Bridegroom, a day that would last for eternity. I wanted to get married Lord, but I want to be Your Bride. I long for Your appearing. When I see Your glorious face I will seize that moment and make it last for eternity. I am nothing without You. That is why I long for that grandeur to be with You; a part of Your dear BRIDE on the wedding day.
