End and Expectation

"Be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Hear thou, My son, and be wise, guide thine heart in the way" (Proverbs 23:17-19).

All the day long and every night
We should be in the fear of the Lord.
For surely there is an end in sight,
And there surely shall be a reward.

These are the guide posts that mark out our way:
The END and our great EXPECTATION.
These will remind how short is our day
And the treasure we have in salvation.

Lift up your eyes, for the end is not far;
Behold there your sure expectation.
Then live in the fear of the Lord where you are,
Thus guided in each situation.
