The Lord will return, so we need to “stay awake” spiritually and watch for Him. In Him we are justified and given life (v. 5).

     1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.(KJV)

1. Hark, a thrilling voice is sounding! 
“Christ is nigh!” we hear it say; 
“Cast away the works of darkness, 
O ye children of the day!” 

2. Startled at the solemn warning, 
Let the earth-bound soul arise; 
Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling, 
Shines upon the morning skies. 

3. Lo, the Lamb, so long expected, 
Comes with pardon down from heaven. 
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, 
One and all, to be forgiven, 

4. That, when next He comes with glory 
And the world is wrapped in fear, 
He may shield us with His mercy 
And with words of love draw near. 

5. Honor, glory, might, dominion, 
To the Father and the Son, 
With the everlasting Spirit, 
While eternal ages run!
