Waiting and Watching

Author: S. M. H. Hymnal: Christ in Song #885 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: We know not the time when He cometh Lyrics: 1. We know not the time when He cometh, At even, or midnight, or morn; It may be at deepening twilight, It may be at earliest dawn. He bids us to watch and be ready, Nor suffer our lights to grow dim; That when He shall come, He may find us, All waiting and watching for Him. Chorus: Waiting and watching, Waiting and watching; Waiting and watching, Still waiting and watching for Thee. 2. I think of His wonderful pity, The price our salvation hath cost; He left the bright mansions of glory To suffer and die for the lost. And sometimes I think it will please Him, When those whom He died to redeem, Rejoice in the hope of His coming By waiting and watching for Him. [Chorus] 3. O Jesus, my loving Redeemer, Thou knowest I cherish as dear The hope that mine eyes shall behold Thee, That I shall thine own welcome hear! If to some as a Judge thou appearest, Who forth from Thy presence would feel, A Friend most beloved I'll greet Thee, I'm waiting and watching for Thee. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [We know not the time when He cometh]

Faith can almost hear Christ's footfall On the threshold of the door, And my heart, my heart is longing To be with Him evermore.

The church has waited long

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #815 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The Church has waited long Her absent Lord to see; And still in loneliness she waits, A friendless stranger she. 2 How long, O Lord our God, Holy and true and good, Wilt thou not judge thy suffering Church, Her sighs and tears and blood? 3 Saint after saint on earth, Has lived and loved and died; And as they left us, one by one, We laid them side by side. 4 We laid them down to sleep, But not in hope forlorn; We left them but to slumber there, Till the last glorious morn. 5 We long to hear thy voice, To see thee face to face, To share thy crown and glory then, As now we share thy grace. 6 Come, Lord, and wipe away The curse, the sin, the stain, And make this blighted world of ours Thine own fair world again.
