PRAYING MARANATHA: COME, O LORD. 1 Cor16:22, Rev 22:7, 12.









Hymn-
HARK THE VOICE OF JESUS CALLING

1. Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,
“Who will go and work today?
Fields are ripe and harvests waiting,
Who will bear the sheaves away?”
Long and loud the Master calls us,
Rich reward He offers free;
Who will answer, gladly saying,
“Here am I, send me, send me”?

2. If you cannot be the watchman,
Standing high on Zion’s wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Offering life and peace to all,
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what heaven demands;
You can be like faithful Aaron,
Holding up the prophet’s hands.

1 Cor16:22;If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
Rev 22:7; Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Rev 22:12; And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. (3) O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free, Thine own from Satan's tyranny; From depths of hell thy people save, And give them victory o'er the grave. Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel.
