The Three Messages.

Tune: “Go Forth said the Master.”
These words said the Master, “I'm coming again,” That with me my people forever may reign, That they may be ready my coming to see, I send forth my angels with messages three.
Chorus: The Master is coming, He's coming for thee: Oh! haste to be ready Thy Master to see.
The first with this message was sent through the land: Fear God and give glory, his Judgment's at hand, And worship the maker of earth, sea, and sky, And the fountains of waters, who ruleth on high.
Chorus.
The second this message of woe did repeat: The church is not ready her Master to greet; She's fallen, backslidden, departed from Heaven, And her love to earth's kings has unlawfully given.
Chorus.
The third message follows, the last to be given, To point once again dying sinners to Heaven: If any the beast or his image adore, On him shall God's judgments abide evermore.
Chorus.
The law of the Father, the faith of the Son, Must be kept by the church all united as one; The mark of rebellion refuse to receive, Be sealed with God's seal, and eternally live.
Chorus.
G. W. Page.
