From the book "Songs of Joy and Gladness" with supplement. 1889?

Oh, Where are Kings and Empires Now?

Oh, where are kings and empires now,

Of Old that went and came?

But Lord, Thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same.

We mark her goodly battlements

And her foundations strong;

We hear within the solemn voice,

Of her unending song.

For not like the kingdoms of the world

Thy Holy Church Oh God!

Though earthquake shocks are threatening her

And tempest are abroad,

Unshaken as eternal hills,

Immovable she stands—

A mountain that shall fill the earth,

A house not made with hands!

Oh Now I see The Crimson Wave

Oh, now I see the crimson wave,

The fountain deep and wide;

Jesus,my Lord ,mighty to save,

Points to His wounded side

Chorus

The cleansing stream I see, I see!

I plunge and oh,it cleanses me!

Oh praise,The Lord,it cleanses me!

I see the new creation rise;

I hear the speaking Blood!

It speaks! pollutes nature dies!

Sinks 'neath the cleansing flood.

Chorus

The cleansing stream I see, I see!

I plunge and oh,it cleanses me!

Oh praise,The Lord,it cleanses me!

 I rise to walk in heavens own light,

Above the world and sin;

With heart made pure, and garments white

And Christ enthroned within!

Chorus

The cleansing stream I see, I see!

I plunge and oh,it cleanses me!

Oh praise,The Lord,it cleanses me!

Amazing Grace! 'tis heavens below,

To feel The Blood applied,

And Jesus,Only Jesus know,

My Jesus crucified!

A Quick Word!!

A corner in world events has been turned today. We need to be sober and diligent, always remembering that we are in the last days. The days ahead will require prayer warriors to take their place. The days of the intercessor for the body are upon us. Pray often and with fervency for your brothers and sisters in Christ and that the WILL OF THE LORD would be done in all ways, in all churches.
Here is a poem that really describes what is upon us.

There are specific times in Gods plan
Like The Exodus, The Birth of Christ and the Creation of Man

That The LORD God Almighty Reveals His Glory
Reveals that He stands, not in time, but in His very own eternity

The LORD reveals, that in His Word
He Has given Himself authority to rule as LORD

He is not bound by the whims of man
And against His council, no argument can stand

There is a time set apart in His Will
That every voice will be quieted, every accusing mouth stilled.

The Last Days ,The Latter Days, The Fulfillment of All Things
The Revealing of His sons and daughters, The Time Creation Will Sing

This time is labeled with many names
But it is really just The Time..That Jesus Christ Begins to Rule and Reign

A great revealing of His Sovereignty and Might
Against all the enemies of God and Man He will wage The Righteous Fight

So get in your place , Oh warriors of The Lord  
What is about to be revealed in you, will shake the world

He will use your tongue to smash the lies
To proclaim the Gospel, and to Save Lives

He will use your hands to heal the sick and help the poor
No eye has seen, nor ear heard, what He has in store

He will use your life to show His Grace and Power
To demonstrate His Love,Provision, and Truth in this, His finest Hour

Ask of The LORD expecting to receive
His Return is Near…ONLY BELIEVE!

…ONLY BELIEVE!
