<TITLE>16. Par 143-148</TITLE>L-143 O Father, if death shall come to us before that time and... I mean the natural death of this earth, separation here, may we enter the chambers with a gallant faith, wrapping the robe of Christ around us, the Holy Ghost. Someday we got to come down there, Father. And I realize I got to walk that line too. It's right out there before me somewhere, that hour that I enter that death chamber. When I hear my sentence read, I don't want to go like a coward. I want to go like You went, Lord. Not try to wrap the old robe around, but wrap the robe of Christ, the Holy Ghost, around me, as Paul did, and say, "Death, where is your sting? Grave, where is your victory?" enter that dark chamber among those who are dead, listening then for His voice of the Archangel that shall sound, and we'll be called out from among the dead, to meet our loved ones again.
O Lord, if we miss that in life, life has been nothing to us; we've failed. But if we find Him Who's precious in our heart, then we've found all the purpose of God.
Oh, how we love Him this morning. May every Christian, this morning, see the vision quickly, Lord. The hour is getting late now, and I pray that You'll let them see the vision and take hold of Life today, and live forever, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-146 You love each other? [Congregation says "Amen."--Ed.] Turn around and shake hands with each other, say, "God bless you. Christ be with you." Instead of "Merry Christmas," say, "Christ be with you," as you turn around. Now don't leave yet, just turn around and say, "Christ be with you." Christ be with you.
All... Now just a moment.
All to Thee, my blessed Saviour,
I surrender all.
Why, I thought it was after twelve. It's after eleven. I thought it was twenty minutes after twelve. Just... [A sister says, "Let's stay another hour."] What's that? Amen.

L-148 Everybody love the Lord? Say, "Praise the Lord!" [The congregation says, "Praise the Lord!"--Ed.] Let's just have a--a little of just a--just now just about only three or four words of testimony, like, "I love Jesus." Just say no more than that. [Someone says, "I love Jesus."] That's right. Somebody else. [Many people say, "I love Jesus!"] Glory to God! [Many say, "I love Jesus!"] I love Him. I love Him. O Jesus.
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea:
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rocks and...?...
Chart and compass come...
