lyrics
Depart from me,
ye cursed,
into everlasting fire,
prepared
for the devil and his angels.
Because strait is the gate
and narrow is the way which leadeth
unto life, and few there be
that find it.
There shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, be not afraid,
your time
is always ready.
Walk while ye have the light,
lest darkness come upon you:
for he that walketh in darkness
knoweth not whither he goeth.
If ye know these things,
happy are you
if ye do them,
happy are ye
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
And this mortal must put on immortality;
death is swallowed up in victory.
Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
The salutation of me with mine own hand.
In distresses, in necessities,
in afflictions, in much patience,
in stripes, in imprisonments,
in tumults, in labours,
in watchings, in fastings,
by the armour of righteousness
on the right hand and on the left,
by love unfeigned,
by honour and dishonour,
as deceivers, and yet true,
as chastened, and not killed,
greet you one another
with an Holy kiss.
Our mouth is open unto you,
our heart is enlarged,
be ye also enlarged;
for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Know ye not this parable?
