LSB 514 "The Bridegroom soon will call us"
http://openhymnal.org/Mp3/The_Bridegroom_Soon_Will_Call_Us-Act_Gott_Vom_Himmelreiche.mp3
The Bridegroom soon will call us “Come to the wedding feast.”
May slumber not befall us Nor watchfulness decrease.
May all our lamps be burning with oil enough and more
that we with Him returning may find an open door.
There shall we see in glory Our dear Redeemer's face;
The long-awaited story Of heav'nly joy takes place;
The patriarchs shall meet us, The prophets' holy band;
Apostles, martyrs greet us In that celestial land.
There God shall from all evil Forever make us free,
From sin and from the devil, From all adversity,
From sickness, pain, and sadness, From troubles, cares, and fears,
And grant us heav'nly gladness And wipe away our tears.
In that fair home shall never Be silent music's voice;
With hearts and lips forever We shall in God rejoice.
While angel hosts are raising With saints from great to least
A mighty hymn for praising The Giver of the feast.
Returned to Elgin with Lila last night (it was 50oC - ish) after two weeks in Austin where we had dropped off Mark. While there we waited out a tropical storm, looked at a lot of houses, visited Padre Island, swam in the apartment pool several times, and played board games with Mark. I performed Elder duty this am too while Lila stayed home with achy sinuses.
... That is all ...
