79. PERSEVERANCE IN CHRIST'S SERVICE.My friends, be firm and faithful to the last,That ye in Christian peace and hope may die,Redeem'd by Him who died in agony.Then as ye hear the trumpet's awful blast,Ye will not with the wicked be downcastInto unfathom'd depths of misery,There in despair, beyond all hope to lie,While ages never counted shall be past;But ye shall see your great Redeemer blest,Array'd in form most gladd'ning to your sight,And he shall say, in majesty most bright,"Come, my disciples, enter into rest!"Then shall the Savior, whom ye serve and love,Transport you to his throne, near God's, above!

My friends, be firm and faithful to the last,
That ye in Christian peace and hope may die,
Redeem'd by Him who died in agony.
Then as ye hear the trumpet's awful blast,
Ye will not with the wicked be downcast
Into unfathom'd depths of misery,
There in despair, beyond all hope to lie,
While ages never counted shall be past;
But ye shall see your great Redeemer blest,
Array'd in form most gladd'ning to your sight,
And he shall say, in majesty most bright,
"Come, my disciples, enter into rest!"
Then shall the Savior, whom ye serve and love,
Transport you to his throne, near God's, above!
