Escape for thy life, and look not behind thee. Genesis 19:17. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Revelation 2:10.
When there is a fire, people in general run to extinguish it and to save what they can: O that we would all run so, to save our souls and the souls of others from hell-fire, and to obtain the crown of glory! O, Lord, give us more zeal and watchfulness, and suffer us not to stand still and draw insensibly back to perdition; but let our whole life be a continual preparation to meet our blessed bridegroom. Amen and Amen.
The fulness of eternal bliss
We shall from thee receive above,
This the reward of conquests, this
The crown of all victorious love.
Conqueror of sin, and hell, and death,
As thou the dreadful fight hast won,
And wearest now the immortal wreath;
And sittest on thy father’s throne.
So that thou grant to all that fight,
And conquer in thy mighty name,
To claim the kingdom as their right.
Their sufferings and their crown the same.
Who bore thy cross shall wear thy crown,
Shall triumph in thy victory,
And in thy glorious throne sit down,
And reign in endless bliss with thee.
