Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings
Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #837 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place.
Sun, and moon, and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
3 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn!
Press onward to the prize;
Soon thy Saviour will return
To take thee to the skies:
There is everlasting peace,
Rest, enduring rest in heaven;
There will sorrow ever cease,
And crowns of joy be given. Tune Title: AMSTERDAM
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings
Ye who rose to meet the Lord
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #838 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Ye who rose to meet the Lord,
Ventured on his faithful word,
Faint not now, for your reward
Will be quickly given.
Faint not, always watch and pray;
Jesus will no more delay;
Even now 'tis dawn of day;
Day-star beams from heaven.
2 Would ye to the end endure?
Keep the wedding garment pure,
Claim ye still the promise sure,
Faithful is the Lord!
Let your lamps be burning bright;
In God's word is beaming light;
Live by faith, and not by sight
Crowns are your reward.
3 Mid the darts of angry foe,
Onward, fearless, onward go,
The good soldier's courage show,
On to victory!
Let thine eyes be turned to me,
Jesus says, "I'll rescue thee;
Overcome, and faithful be,
Thou shalt glory see!"
4 Tones of thunder through the sky,
Angel voices sounding high,
Echo still the mighty cry,
"Jesus, quickly come!"
Quickly he'll return again,
With his saints he'll come to reign,
While all heaven will shout, "Amen!
Welcome to thy throne!"
5 Marriage supper now prepared,
By the guests will then be shared,
In fair, righteous robes arrayed,
Like the Bridegroom King.
Glory to Jehovah's name!
Sound aloud the glad acclaim,
To the Lamb that once was slain,
Alleluias bring! Tune Title: CALEDONIA
Ye who rose to meet the Lord
When shall I see the day
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #839 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 When shall I see the day
That ends my woes?
When shall I victory gain
O'er all my foes?
2 When the trumpet sound,
That calls me home?
The grand, sabbatic year,
When will it come?
3 In yonder realms of light,
By faith I see
A crown of glory bright,
Prepared for me.
4 O may I soon behold
That happy day,
When sorrow, sin, and pain
Shall flee away!
5 O may I ever keep
The prize in view,
And through the storms of life
My way pursue!
6 Jesus, be thou my guide,
My steps attend;
O keep me near thy side;
Be thou my friend.
7 Be thou my shield and sun,
Be thou my guard;
And, when my work is done,
My great reward.
Tune Title: CALEDONIA
When shall I see the day
Away with our sorrow and fear!
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #841 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Away with our sorrow and fear!
We soon shall recover our home;
The city of saints shall appear,
The day of eternity come.
From earth we shall quickly remove,
And mount to our promised abode,
The house of our Father above,
The palace of angels and God.
2 By faith we already behold
That lovely Jerusalem here;
Her walls are of jasper and gold,
As crystal her buildings are clear.
Immovably founded in grace,
She stands as she ever has stood;
And soon, at the end of our race,
We'll rest in that city of God. Tune Title: CONTRAST
Away with our sorrow and fear!
Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Author: Sydney S. Brewer Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #842 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Of fair Zion's glory dawn?
Have the signs that mark its coming
Yet upon thy pathway shone?
Pilgrim, yes! arise, look round thee;
Light is breaking in the skies;
Gird thy bridal robes around thee,
Morning dawns, arise! arise!
2 Watchman, see, the light is beaming
Brighter still upon thy way;
Signs through all the earth are gleaming,
Omens of the coming day
When the Jubal trumpet, sound,
Shall awake from earth and sea
All the saints of God, now sleeping,
Clad in immortality.
3 Watchman, hail the light ascending
Of the grand, Sabbatic year;
All with voices loud proclaiming
That the kingdom now is near:
Pilgrim, yes, I see just yonder,
Canaan's glorious hights arise;
Salem, too, appears in grandeur,
Towering 'neath its sunlit skies
4 Watchman, in the golden city,
Seated on his jasper throne,
Zion's King, arrayed in beauty,
Reigns in peace from zone to zone:
There on sunlit hills and mountains,
Golden beams serenely glow;
Purling streams and crystal fountains,
On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow.
5 Watchman, see, the land is nearing,
With its vernal fruits and flowers;
On, just yonder, O how cheering!
Bloom forever Eden's bowers.
Hark! the choral strains are ringing,
Wafted on the balmy air,
See the millions, hear them singing,
Soon the pilgrim will be there. Tune Title: DAWNING
Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Long upon the mountains, weary
Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #844 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Long upon the mountains, weary;
Have the scattered flock been torn;
Dark the desert paths, and dreary;
Grievous trials have they borne.
Now the gathering call is sounding,
Solemn in its warning voice;
Union, faith, and love, abounding,
Bid the little flock rejoice.
2 Now the light of truth they're seeking,
In its onward track pursue;
All the ten commandments keeping,
They are holy, just, and true.
On the words of life they're feeding,
Precious to their taste, so sweet;
All their Master's precepts heeding,
Bowing humbly at his feet.
3 In that world of light and beauty,
In that golden city fair,
Soon its pearly gates they'll enter,
And of all its glories share.
There, divine the soul's expansions;
Free from sin, and death, and pain;
Tears will never dim those mansions
Where the saints immortal reign.
4 Soon He comes! with clouds descending;
All his saints, entombed, arise;
The redeemed, in anthems blending,
Shout their victory through the skies.
O, we long for thine appearing;
Come, O Saviour, quickly come!
Blessed hope! our spirits cheering,
Take my ransomed children home. Tune Title: GREENVILLE
Long upon the mountains, weary
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #845 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee;
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the saints thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
2 Born, thy people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king;
Born to reign o'er us forever;
Now thy precious kingdom bring:
By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne. Tune Title: GREENVILLE
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
This is not my place of resting
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #846 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 This is not my place of resting;
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward, to it, I am hastening,
On to my eternal home.
In it, all is light and glory;
O'er it shines a nightless day;
Every trace of sin's sad story,
All the curse has passed away.
2 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
By the streams of life along;
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song.
Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Nevermore are sad and weary,
Never, never sin again. Tune Title: GREENVILLE
This is not my place of resting
We are living, we are dwelling
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #847 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time;
In an age on ages telling
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Gog and Magog to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth? Is creation
Groaning for her latter day?
2 Christian, rouse and arm for conflict,
Nerve thee for the battle-field;
Bear the helmet of salvation,
And the mighty gospel shield;
Let the breastplate, peace, be on thee,
Take the Spirit's sword in hand;
Boldly, fearlessly, go forth then,
In Jehovah's strength to stand.
3 Wicked spirits gather round thee,
Legions of those foes to God
Principalities most mighty
Walk unseen the earth abroad;
They are gathering to the battle,
Strengthened for the last deep strife;
Christian, arm! be watchful, ready,
Struggle manfully for life.
4 And the prince of evil spirits,
Great deceiver of the world!
He who at the blessed Jesus
Once his deadly weapons hurled,
Cometh with unwonted power,
Knowing that his reign will cease
When the kingdom shall be given
To the mighty Prince of peace.
5 Christian, rouse! fight in this warfare,
Cease not till the victory's won;
Till your Captain loud proclaimeth,
"Servant of the Lord, well done!"
He, alone, who thus is faithful,
Who abideth to the end,
Hath the promise, in the kingdom
An eternity to spend.
Tune Title: THE ALARM
We are living, we are dwelling
Time, thou speedest on but slowly
Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #849 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Time, thou speedest on but slowly;
Hours, how tardy is your pace!
Ere with him, the high and holy,
I hold converse face to face.
Here is naught but care and mourning
Comes a joy, it will not stay;
Fairly shines the sun at dawning,
Night will soon o'ercloud the day.
2 Onward then! not long I wander
Ere my Saviour comes for me,
And with him abiding yonder,
All his glory I shall see.
O, the music and the singing
Of the hosts redeemed by love!
O, the hallelujahs ringing
Through the halls of light above! Tune Title: ONWARD
Time, thou speedest on but slowly
