<TITLE>26. Par 154-157</TITLE>L-154 And an old friend of mine (Glory.) standing yonder, come to the end of the road. I said, "Are you going, dad?"
Said "This is it, Billy."
I said, "How is it?
He said, "All well." Said, "Bring the children up along side of the bed." He put his old feeble hands upon each one of his children and blessed them, told his two sons, said, "Hang up my hands; raise them up like Joshua and Caleb did." We wondered what he was going to say. He said:
Happy day, happy day,
Since Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day.
We've got some of those things to come to, friends. No one but what desires to eat good food, drive a nice automobile, and have the best that we can have. I don't blame you. That's all right. God wants you to have that, but...
Covet not this world's vain riches,
That so rapidly decay,
Build your hopes on things eternal,
They will never pass away!
Let's raise our hands now while we sing.
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Hold to God's unchanging hand!
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand!

L-156 While we stand, let's just turn around and shake hands with somebody now. We're going to continue on the service just a moment. But I want you to turn around when we sing another verse of that song.
Hold to God's unchanging hand! (Do it, mother. Do it, daddy. Do it, brother.)
... to God's unchanging... (Do it, kiddies. Do it, brothers. Do it, brothers.)
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God's unchanging hand!

L-157 Aren't you glad for Him? Say "Amen." [Congregation replies, "Amen."--Ed.] All that love Him, say, "Praise the Lord." [Congregation replies, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] All that believe that you're going to that city foursquare, raise your hands. (Hold it just a minute with your song.)
I'm bound for that beautiful City, (How does that go now?)
The Lord has prepared for His own;
Where all the redeemed of all ages
Sing glory around the White Throne.
Sometimes I grow homesick for heaven,
And the glory I there shall behold.
What a joy that will be,
When my Saviour I see
In that beautiful City of gold.
Don't you like that?
I'm bound for that beautiful City,
My Lord has prepared for His own;
Where all the redeemed of all ages
Will sing glory around the White Throne.
Oh, sometimes I grow homesick for heaven,
And the joys I there shall behold.
What a joy that will be,
When my Saviour I see
In that beautiful City of gold.
You love Him? Then...
Take the Name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you,
Take it, everywhere you go.
Precious Name, (Precious Name,) O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious Name, (Precious Name,) O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Now, don't forget next Sunday morning, 9:30; and then we'll try, if the Lord willing, get through in time, to have prayer for the sick, next Sunday morning at 9:30.
At the Name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at His feet,
King of Kings in heaven we'll crown Him,
When our journey is complete.
Precious Name, (Precious Name,) O how sweet! (O how sweet!)
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious Name, (Precious Name,) O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Just listen at this verse.
At the Name of Jesus bowing,
As a shield from every snare;
When temptations 'round you gather,
Just breathe that holy Name in prayer. (That'll do it.)
Precious Name, (Precious Name,) O how sweet! (O how sweet!)
Hope of earth and joy of heaven;
Precious Name, (Precious Name,) O how sweet!
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.
Now, I turn the service to the pastor, Brother Neville, let him have his closing words and whatever he might say.
