"Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole....
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved”
SWIFT as on swallows fly,
Airy and light,
Glance the brief moments by,
Out of thy sight.
Broad as you river flows,
Shining as fair,
All thy life-current flows,
Onward, but WHERE?
Think of ETERNITY,
Dear one, in time;
Birds have their voice for thee,
River and rhyme.
Waste not the sunny hours,
Golden and few;
Else when the tempest lowers,
What wilt thou do?
Art thou a child of day,
Saved by the blood?
Hast thou the right to say
“Father" to God?
Are all thy crimson sins
On thee, or gone?
“Peace" upon earth begins;
Is it thine own?
Oh, come to Jesus now!
Soon, soon too late!
Gladness shall crown thy brow,
Love banish hate;
All the old enmity Sunk into shame;
Jesus thy joy shall be,
"NONE OTHER NAME.”
