No. 2363, Children of the Day (Poetry)

A poem on 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11.

---

The Times and Seasons, none can say,
for like a Thief comes Judgement Day.
While Peace and Safety lull the mind,
destruction strikes, swift and unkind.

But you, dear Brothers, need not fear,
for Light has made our Calling clear.
You’re not of Night or Shadow’s play,
but Children born to walk in Day.

So stay Awake with Sober sight
and arm yourselves with Faith and Light.
The breastplate Guards, the helmet Saves,
as Hope of Life the Spirit paves.

For God did not appoint our End
to wrath, but Grace His love will send.
Through Christ, who died and rose once more,
we Live with Him forevermore.

Encourage one another now,
and build each other’s Faith endowed.
For on the Day that Soon will come,
we’ll find our Rest in our new Home.
