A Hymn: There Is a Reward for the Righteous
Singing and composing hymns and other songs have been part of my life since my teenage days
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
There is life for a look at the Crucified One
The Composed Song
1. Come listen now dear friend whose deeds ‘r even righteous
Cease thou not to do work of righteousness
Because God also is seeing even all of thine works
Cease thou not to do work of righteousness
Refrain:
It’s true, it’s very true
It is very true that there’s reward for righteous
‘Cause God even judgeth on the earth
2. Come listen now dear friend whose deeds ‘r even righteous
Friends, brethren and siblings may even forsake thee
‘Cause even of the works you are doing in righteousness
Cease thou not to do works of righteousness
Refrain:
3. Come listen now dear friend whose deeds ‘r even righteous
Yea God also delighted in thee
Because thou art the one who’s fulfilling his wills
Cease thou not to do works of righteousness
Refrain
4. Come listen now dear friend whose deeds ‘r even righteous
Mingle thou not never with evil ones
Yea to also partake even in their wickedness
Mingle thou not never with evil ones
Refrain
5. Come listen now dear friend whose deeds ‘r even righteous
God’s promise may tarry for a while
But always’ remember, promise may tarry for a while
Joy ‘ld appear in the morning
Refrain
6. Come listen now dear friend whose deeds ‘r even righteous
Cease thou not to do work of righteousness
Endure and have faith day of your joy is nigh
That thou ‘ll be rewarded for your works
Refrain
