We are reminded on Sabbath afternoon that the horrors of this world for the poor, homeless, oppressed, slaves, the exploited, the selfish, greedy and violent will come to an end abruptly as
“Jesus Is Coming Again”, Hymn 213. Other hymns of this flavour are
Hymn 212, “’Tis Almost Time for the Lord to Come”,
Hymn 215, “The King Shall Come”,
Hymn 208, “There’ll Be No Dark Valley” and
Hymn 216, “When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder”, to name just a few. We are then encouraged to stand up again these evils and sing
“Stand Up! Stand Up for Jesus” Hymn 618.

Hymn 55, “Jesus, Tender Shepherd, Hear Me” and closing with verse one of

Ecclesiastes 3:7 “a time to be silent and a time to speak” will give us two hymns:
Hymn 479, “Tread Softly” and

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
