Referenced Scriptures: [1Thessalonians 4:13-18, John 14:1-4]
He Shall Save His People
Jesus His name it shall be called, the holy angel said,
For He shall save his people all, by suffering in their stead.
This heavenly message we believe, that Christ has come to save,
This precious gospel we receive, and give Him all the praise.
He healed the sick, gave back the dead, He spake and it was done;
And trusting Him we not dread the cold and silent tomb.
He rose a victor over death, and back to Heaven has gone;
But will return again to Earth to take His people home,
O blessed Jesus, my dear friend, alone I look to Thee;
And when my little life shall end, I pray remember me.
