186 Rejoice, for lo! I quickly come To take thee to my heav nly home.

5 &quot;A pillar there no more to move, Inscribed with all my names of love, A monument of mighty grace, Thou shalt for ever have a place.&quot;

6 Such is the conqueror s reward, Prepared and promised by the Lord ! Let him that hath the ear of faith, Attend to what the Spirit saith.

1 HEAR what the Lord, the great Amen, The true and faithful Witness, says ; He form d the vast creation s plan, And searches all our hearts and ways.

2 To some he speaks as once of old, &quot; I know thee, thy profession s vain; Since thou art neither hot nor cold., I ll spit thee from me with disdain.

3 &quot; Thou boasted, I am wise and rich, Increased in goods and nothing need; And dost not know thou art a wretch, Naked and poor and blind and dead.

4 &quot; Yet while I thus rebuke I love, My message is in mercy sent ; That thou may st my compassion prove, I can forgive if thou repent.

5 &quot; Wouldst thou be truly rich and wise ! Come, buy my gold in fire well tried, My ointment to anoint thine eyes, My robe thy nakedness to hide.

6 &quot; See, at thy door I stand and knock ! Poor sinner, shall I wait in vain ? Quickly thy stubborn heart unlock, That I may enter with my train.
