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

Sleep not as do others; be watchful, and wait,"

"The kingdom restored, to you shall be giv'n."

Bright crowns are in waiting; hold fast till I come."

We know he is near, but know not the day,
As spring shows that summer is not far away. [Chorus]

The glorious appearing of Jesus, our Lord;
Of promises all, it stands as the sum:

Happy day! happy day!
Author: U. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #793 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: O happy day! that bursts the tomb Lyrics: 1 O happy day! that bursts the tomb,
And sets the joyful prisoners free;
That lifts the saints from death and gloom
To life and immortality.
Chorus:
Happy day! happy day!
For thee we'll wait and watch and pray;
We bid thy hours no more delay;
O chase the shades of night away.
Happy day! happy day!
For thee we'll wait and watch and pray.
2 O happy day! when earth so bright,
In Eden robes shall bloom again;
Her beauty no decay shall blight,
Nor death e'er tread her wide domain. [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]

Happy day! happy day!
My soul is happy when I hear
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #795 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 My soul is happy when I hear
The Saviour is so nigh,
And longs to see his sign appear
Upon the opening sky.
2 I love to wait, and watch, and pray,
And trust his living word,
And feel the coming of that day
No longer is deferred.
3 Then, waiting brethren, let us sing,
He will not tarry long,
And fill with joy the hours that bring
The glory of our song.
4 Yes, he will come; no longer fear,
Though earth and hell assail;
His word attests the moment near,
And that can never fail. Tune Title: ZERAH
My soul is happy when I hear
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. Tune Title: CHOPIN
The glories of that heavenly land
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. Tune Title: CHOPIN
Jesus, our Hope, our Life, our Heaven
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
Gracious Father, guard thy children
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
Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Dawn
Hymnal: Christ in Song #935 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: O'er the distant mountain breaking Lyrics: 1. O'er the distant mountain breaking,
Comes the red'ning dawn of day;
Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking,
Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray;
'Tis the Saviour 'Tis the Saviour
On his bright returning way.
2. O thou long-expected! weary
Waits my anxious soul for thee;
Life is dark, and earth is dreary
Where thy light I do not see:
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
When wilt thou return to me?
3. Long, too long, in sin and sadness,
Far away from thee I pine;
When, O when shall I the gladness
Of thy Spirit feel in mine?
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
When shall I be wholly thine?
4. Nearer is my soul's salvation,
Spent the night, the day at hand;
Keep me in my lowly station,
Watching for thee, till I stand,
O my Saviour, O my Saviour,
In thy bright and promised land.
5. With my lamp well-trimm'd and burning,
Swift to hear, and slow to roam,
Watching for thy glad returning
To restore me to my home;
Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour,
O my Saviour, quickly come! Languages: English

Watchful at His Gate
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Christ in Song #714 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: Ye servants of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait;
Observant of his heavn'ly word,
And 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
