SHALL WE BE READY?

International Tract and Missionary Society · Oakland, California · Jan 29, 1885

Will the work that we are doing Stand the test of that great day, When the Lord will come to Judgment, All that's wrong to sweep away?

Will he speak the words of welcome When he comes to claim his own? Will he say, Thou hast been faithful; All thy work has been well done?

Have we built on the foundation, On the rock that's firm and true? Have we made a full surrender, Striving with our might to do

All the work the Master gives us, With our armor ever bright, Walking in the narrow pathway, Ever keeping in the light?

Oh! we must be more in earnest; We must choose the Lord to-day; Choose him as our only portion, While in this dark world we stay. —Sel.
