Opening Song:
Keep Your Lamps Trimmed (https://open.spotify.com/track/2giTnVx55Z4x8AZ4HDz2Y7?si=5700bf65496043a2)by The Hillbilly Thomists
Lyrics:
Keep those lamps trimmed now
Keep those lamps trimmed
Midnight's coming in
Won't you keep those lamps trimmed
You do not know the day
And you do not know the hour
Keep watch, stay awake
You do not know the day
My soul waits for more than sentinels
The Lord, for He comes with mercy
Keep those lamps trimmed now
Keep those lamps trimmed
Midnight's coming in
Won't you keep those lamps trimmed
Got no time to waste, now
Got no time to waste
Bridegroom's coming soon
Ain't got no time to waste
From the depths I cry
Lord, for He comes with mercy
Keep those lamps trimmed now
Keep those lamps trimmed (Keep those lamps trimmed now)
Midnight's coming in (Keep those lamps trimmed)
Won't you keep those lamps trimmed (Midnight's coming in)
Passage:
32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 “Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, 36 and be like men who are waiting for their master to come home from the wedding feast, so that they may open the door to him at once when he comes and knocks. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. 38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the third, and finds them awake, blessed are those servants! 39 But know this, that if the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have left his house to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
(Luke 12:32–40 ESV)
Musical Reflection:
All to Jesus I Surrender (SURRENDER) by Winfield S. Weeden
Reflection Notes:
This tune was originally intended to have two-part harmonies on the verse and four-part harmonies of the refrain; the additional harmonic fullness adds to the repeated emphasis of the words “I surrender all.”
Prayer:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
