Five minutes After I die Lost :

Five minutes After I die Lost :

Loved ones will weep o’er my silent face ;

Dear ones will clasp me in sad embrace ;

Shadows and darkness will fill the place  ,

Five minutes after I die .

Faces that sorrow I will not see ;

Voices that murmur will not reach me ;

But where ,oh,where will my spirit be ,

Five minutes after I die .

Here ,I have rested ,and roved , and ranged ;

Here , I have cherished ,and grown estranged .

There ,and then, it will all be changed ,

Five minutes after I die .

Naught to repair the good I lack ;

Fixed to  the goal of my chosen track;

No room to repent – no turning back ,

Five minutes after I die !

Now ,I can strife convictions stirred ;

Now ,I can silence the voice oft heard ;

Then ,the fulfillment of God’s sure Word,

Fives minutes  after I die .

Mated for aye with my chosen throng ;

Long is eternity ,oh so long !

Then woe is me if my soul is wrong ,

Five minutes after I die .

Oh ,what a fool ! Hard the word , but true ,

Passing the Saviour , with hell in view ,

Doing a thing I can ne’er undo ,

Fives minutes after I die .

Since I am flinging a fortune away ;

Since I am wasting salvation’s day ,

“just is my sentence,” my soul shall say ,

Fives minutes after I die .

Think about it !

   Three Things

I know three things must ever be ,

To keep a nation strong and free:

One is a hearthstone bright and dear

With busy , happy loved ones near ;

One is a ready heart and hand

To love and serve and keep the land ;

One is a worn and beaten way

To where the people go to pray .

So long as these are kept alive ,

Nation and people  will survive  .

God keep them , always ,everywhere ,

The hearth , the flag ,the place of prayer .

Teach America To Pray

Teach America To Pray

Lord ,we would bow in need of Thee

Throughout this land from sea to sea ,

From where Atlantic’s breakers roar

To blue Pacific’s golden shore ,

Oh , may we all in longing say ,

Lord ,teach America to pray !

May we our sins to Thee confess ,

Pleading in faith Thy righteousness ,

May we again come to Thy throne ,

Returning that which is Thine own .

Our broken hearts before Thee lay .

Lord , teach America to pray !

May our good land be true and just ,

Her motto e’er “In God We Trust .”

May she be guided by Thy Word .

Thy wisdom in her walls be heard .

May all who love her plead today ,

Lord , teach America to pray !

And as her flag unfurls on high

Its starry splendor to the sky ,

May we , in grateful thanks to Thee

Who gave to us this land so free ,

Preserve her freedom in Thy way

Lord , teach America to pray!

To pray that cruel wars may cease ,

That to the world may come Thy peace ,

That ever , always , at Thy feet ,

We may attain communion sweet ,

In loving trust to Thee we say ,

Lord , teach America to pray
