An Advent Prayer: Of Our Lord Jesus Christ At His Coming, Your Spirit, Soul And Body Blameless A-Keeping! Poem by Frank Yue

Of Our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming,
Your spirit, soul and body blameless a-keeping!

Among the myriad temptations,
Fornication and distractions,
Can anyone keep oneself spotless?
With human nature as it is,
Most unlikely even with the most bles't.
Life on Earth is misery and suffering,
Anger and tears, laughter and smiling.

Hear, hear, hear! Please understand -
Life is short, transient and will soon end.
Repent while there's still time, the end is at hand!
Our Lord is Jesus Christ crucified,
Through Him, with Him, in Him we're purified.
Of Our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming,
Your spirit, soul and body blameless a-keeping!
