Behold th' expected time draw near
Author: Mrs. Voke Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #790 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Behold th' expected time draw near,
The shades disperse, the dawn appear!
Behold the wilderness assume
The beauteous tints of Eden's bloom,
The beauteous tints of Eden's bloom!
2 Events with prophecies conspire
To raise our faith, our zeal to fire;
The ripening fields, already white,
Present a harvest to the sight.
Tune Title: HARMONY CHANT
Behold th' expected time draw near
How long we've been the heirs of grace!
Author: S. O. James Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #791 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 How long we've been the heirs of grace!
How long desired a crown to win!
But still we have not reached the place
Where we can say we're free from sin.
2 We patient pray, and gladly sing,
"Thy perfect will, O Lord, be done!"
Our Captain will the victory bring
Which he for us has fairly won.
3 Our works as filthy rags appear,
Except as humbly wrought in thee:
Jesus, thy righteousness 'tis clear
Our righteousness at last must be. Tune Title: HARMONY CHANT
How long we've been the heirs of grace!
Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh
Author: Mrs. Rebekah Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #792 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh:
Look up! redemption draweth nigh.
Have loved ones gone? does earth look drear?
Look up! shed not that bitter tear.
2 What though the heart is saddened now,
And shadows gather on thy brow,
And grief the bosom heaveth still?
Look up! submit to Heaven's own will.
3 Do trials unexpected rise?
Look up! and view the glorious prize;
Let not life's sorrows press you down;
Look up! prepare to take the crown.
4 Lift up your head, rejoice and sing;
Look up! by faith behold your King.
He soon is coming, heed his call;
Look up! and make your God your all.
5 He'll come, all troubles here to end;
He'll come, a never-failing friend;
He'll come to take his children home;
Look up! and pray, "Lord, quickly come." Tune Title: HARMONY CHANT
Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #794 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love
That shows salvation nigh;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love
That shows salvation nigh.
2 Swift on the wings of time it flies;
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year.
3 Not many years their round shall run,
Not many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.
4 Ye wheels of nature, speed your course!
Ye mortal powers, decay!
Haste! till the last glad morning rise
That brings eternal day. Tune Title: ZERAH
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes
Hail, glorious day! ere long to dawn
Author: Mrs. M. S. Avery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #796 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Hail, glorious day! ere long to dawn,
And set death's captives free;
Triumphant then will they come forth
With shouts of victory.
2 And when my Saviour shall appear,
If in the grave I lie,
The last loud trumpet I shall hear,
And live, no more to die.
3 It is enough, although I close
In death my weary eyes,
In that bright morn, my Lord to see,
And meet him in the skies.
4 And in that resurrection morn
I shall his face behold;
'Tis then my Lord to me will give
The starry crown of gold. Tune Title: ZERAH
Hail, glorious day! ere long to dawn
Behold I come! the Saviour cries
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #797 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Behold I come! the Saviour cries,
On wings of love I fly;
So come, dear Lord, my soul replies,
And bring salvation nigh.
2 Come, please thy truth's much-injured cause
And make thy glory shine;
Come, vindicate thy righteous laws
With majesty divine.
3 With winged speed, Redeemer, dear,
Bring on the illustrious day;
Let not our hopes give way to fear
Beneath thy long delay. Tune Title: ZERAH
Behold I come! the Saviour cries
Arise, ye mourning saints, arise!
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #799 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Arise, ye mourning saints, arise!
The Lord our Leader is;
The foe before his banner flies,
And victory is his.
2 We follow thee, our Guard and Guide,
Our Saviour, and our King;
We follow thee, through grace supplied
From heaven's eternal spring.
3 We soon shall see the promised day
When all our toils shall cease;
When we shall cast our arms away,
And dwell in endless peace.
4 This blessed hope supports us here;
It makes our burdens light;
'Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer,
Till faith shall end in sight:
5 Till, of the glorious prize possessed,
We hear of war no more;
And ever with our Leader rest,
On yonder peaceful shore. Tune Title: CHOPIN
Arise, ye mourning saints, arise!
The Saviour bids us watch and pray
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #801 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The Saviour bids us watch and pray
Through time's brief, fleeting hour,
And gives the Spirit's quickening ray
To those who seek its power.
2 The Saviour bids us watch and pray,
Maintain a warrior's strife;
Help, Lord, to hear thy voice to-day;
Obedience is our life.
3 The Saviour bids us watch and pray;
For quickly he will come,
To call us from our toils away
To our eternal home.
4 The Saviour bids us watch and pray;
For lo! the Judge is near;
O may we joyfully obey,
And watch till he appear!
Tune Title: ABRIDGE
The Saviour bids us watch and pray
Dear Saviour, we would know thy love
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #803 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, we would know thy love
Which yet no measure knows;
For us it led thee once to die;
From thence salvation flows.
2 Fain would we strike the golden harp,
And wear the promised crown,
And at thy feet, while bending low,
Would sing what grace hath done.
3 Then leave us not in this dark world,
As strangers long to roam;
Come, Lord, and take us to thyself,
Come, Jesus, quickly come! Tune Title: ABRIDGE
Dear Saviour, we would know thy love
We'll work till Jesus comes
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #805 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: Let others seek a home below Lyrics: 1 Let others seek a home below,
We'll be gathered home;
Which flames devour or waves o'erthrow,
We'll be gathered there.
Chorus:
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
And we'll be gathered home.
2 Be mine the happier lot to own,
We'll be gathered home;
A heavenly mansion near the throne,
We'll be gathered home. [Chorus]
3 Then, fail this earth, let stars decline,
We'll be gathered home;
And sun and moon refuse to shine,
We'll be gathered home. [Chorus]
4 Though desolation here may be,
We'll be gathered home;
That heavenly mansion stands for me,
We'll be gathered home. [Chorus] Tune Title: LAND OF REST
We'll work till Jesus comes
