Behold the Saviour at the door!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #787 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still, You treat no other friend so ill. 2 He counsels thee to buy of him Gold tried by fire, and raiment clean; Anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see, And put away thy stains from thee. 3 O, hear the faithful Witness' voice, He offers now a final choice; Thou art offensive, O lukewarm! Therefore be zealous and reform. 4 His mission now is almost o'er, Before the throne he'll plead no more; The filthy must his filth retain, He that is holy, so remain. 5 His locks with dews of night are wet, But at thy heart he lingereth yet. O wake, and open wide the door; Bid thy Beloved wait no more. 5 Yea, bring him in, a welcome guest; So shalt thou in his presence rest, And in communion sweet and free, Shalt sup with him and he with thee. Tune Title: HARTEL

Fear not, little flock, 'tis your Father's good pleasure

Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #867 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Fear not, little flock 'tis your Father's good pleasure To give you the glorious kingdom above; To grant you the precious and eternal treasure Of life everlasting, a gift of his love. 2 No more shall ye suffer for Christ, tribulation. No more shall ye rudely be scattered and torn; Your trials and sorrows, your fears and temptations, Will shortly be over; no more shall ye mourn. 3 Earth has not the bliss which in heaven is offered, And knows not the joys that await all the blest; The saints are the heirs to the kingdom that's proffered, The kingdom of righteousness, kingdom of rest. 4 Then fear not, ye flock, for your Shepherd, returning, Shall gather his sheep in his heavenly fold; Shall lead you in pastures for which ye are yearning, And shelter you safe in the city of gold. Tune Title: LITTLE FLOCK

[Chorus] 3 O happy day! when far around, Through all this universal frame, One glorious anthem shall resound Of blessing to Jehovah's name. [Chorus] 4 O happy day! that knows no night; No sorrow with thy joy shall blend; No clouds shall e'er obscure thy light; Thy scenes of glory ne'er shall end. [Chorus] Tune Title: HARMONY CHANT

Jesus, our Hope, our Life, our Heaven

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #800 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Hope, our Life, our Heaven, The lingering times have flown; To thee the kingdom now is given; Return and claim thine own. 2 And, as we wait, along the skies Unearthly glory steals; And our glad spirits seem to rise, To haste thy chariot wheels. 3 Although they seem to linger, still Thy retinue on high Is marshalled, and awaits the will That bids their myriads fly. 4 Then we will wait, nor deem too long The closing hours of grace; But trim our lamps with cheerful song, Till we shall see thy face. 5 Safe with the ransomed we shall stand, And raise the victor's song; A golden harp in every hand, And praise on every tongue.

Gracious Father, guard thy children

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #843 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Gracious Father, guard thy children From the foe's destructive power; Save, O save them, Lord from falling In this dark and trying hour. Thou wilt surely prove thy people, All our graces must be tried; But thy word illumes our pathway, And in God we still confide. 2 We are in the time of waiting; Soon we shall behold our Lord, Wafted far away from sorrow, To receive our rich reward. Keep us, Lord, till thine appearing, Pure, unspotted from the world; Let thy Holy Spirit cheer us Till thy banner is unfurled. 3 With what joyful exultation Shall the saints thy banner see, When the Lord for whom we've waited Shall proclaim the Jubilee! Freedom from this world's pollutions; Freedom from all sin and pain; Freedom from the wiles of Satan, And from death's destructive reign. Tune Title: DAWNING

Light of those whose dreary dwelling

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #850 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Come, and by thyself revealing, Dissipate the clouds beneath. Thou, new heaven and earth's Creator, In our deepest darkness rise; Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring day up-on our eyes. 2 Still we wait for thy appearing; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every poor benighted heart. Come, extend thy wonted favor To our ruined, guilty race; Come, thou blest, exalted Saviour! Come, apply thy saving grace. 3 By thine all-atoning merit Every burdened soul release; By the teachings of thy Spirit Guide us into perfect peace; So shall we, at thine appearing, Wait thy smiling face to see; So, the joyful summons hearing, Enter into rest with thee. Tune Title: LOVE DIVINE

Watchful at His Gate

Observant of his heav'nly word, And watchful at his gate. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame; Gird up your loins as in his sight; His coming thus proclaim. Gird up your loins as in his sight; His coming thus proclaim. 3 Watch, 'tis your Lord's command, And while we speak, he's near; Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear. Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear. 4 O, happy servant he, In such a posture found! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crown'd. He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crown'd. Languages: English Tune Title: EL KADER

The glories of that heavenly land

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #798 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The glories of that heavenly land I've ofttimes felt before; But what I feel is just a taste, And makes me long for more, And makes me long for more. 2 Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd fly and be at rest; Then would I go to Christ, my love, And dwell among the blest. 3 O! could I reach my heavenly home, And ne'er return again; I would not think the seasons long That I should suffer pain. 4 But Patience bids us wait awhile! The crown's for them that fight; The prize for those that win the race By faith, and not by sight. 5 Through faith we look to yonder prize, Laid up in heaven above; Says Hope, "It shortly shall be mine," "I'll wear it soon," says Love.
