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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |

I first heard this song after a major surgery when I was in the greatest pain. It reminded me that the most important thing is to gain more oil at every opportunity. One year later, I sang this song at a high school conference on "the kingdom". I realized that everything in the world is waste in comparison to the kingdom of the heavens. We should gain the Lord at every opportunity and overcome the world and our soul life so that we do not miss out on the one thousand year wedding feast. Otherwise, we will be in the outer darkness for one thousand years regretting that we did not take every opportunity to overcome. Saints, we should become overcomers during our lifetime in this age, instead of the one thousand years in the next.

Jesus is coming. I'm fourteen, and I went to the NY conference. We should all prepare for the Lord's second coming. We can't waste anytime. We've already wasted enough of it. We just need to hasten His coming, and get prepared for it.

The time is now. Enjoy Him now. Love Him more now. Waste yourself on Him now. Don't let your circumstances be your excuse. We must overcome everything to have His presence now. Then, when He comes, it will not be strange. It will simply be the fullness of what we are already enjoying.

Oh how sweet! I sang this song in the YP conference. Oh Lord Jesus, let us not be left outside the feast.

This song is very touching. I feel that I need to be prepared for His coming. Amen saints. We need to mature as His bride!

Oh, may we jealously hold His presence now! I really consider this to be the essence of this hymn because our deepest desire is to remain in His presence to enjoy this organic union eternally! O how I love Him!
In Him,

Praise the Lord! Let us redeem the time, let us pay the price buy the oil. Praise the Lord for Christ is coming for us. Hallelujah for such enjoyment!

O Lord! Redeem the time! We must not let it slip away! Lord, prepare us day by day! Have mercy Lord! That we would pay the price to buy the oil in this age. We want to be found ready as Your bride when You come back!

This song touched me very much.
I was really enjoying the Lord through this song and felt a personal connection with Him.
Praise the Lord that He soon is coming!
Brothers and sisters, we all need to be ready and prepared we have to turn away from worldly pleasures and turn to Him.
Our lamps well trimmed and fired burning bright
Lets hasten Our Lord's arrive!
We want to be there for His feast, well dressed and ready for the cry: BEHOLD HIM!

This song makes me cry...
Yes satisfied, Christ and His Bride together...
I can never explain how much it means to me to have the satisfaction that God can give to us. When I see my friends in their pain and sufferings, I just wish they would listen to me and be able to experience the same thing I get whenever I come to God.
