In the sun, and moon, and stars

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 In the sun, and moon, and stars, Signs and wonders have appeared; Earth has groaned with bloody wars, And the hearts of men have feared. 2 Soon shall ocean's hoary deep, Tossed with stronger tempests, rise; Darker storms the mountains sweep, Fiercer lightnings rend the skies. 3 Dread alarms shall shake the proud, Pale amazement, restless fear; And amid the thunder cloud Shall the Judge of men appear. 4 But, though from his awful face, Heaven shall fade, and earth shall fly, Fear not ye, his chosen race, Your redemption draweth nigh. Used With Tune: PLEYEL

Watchman, tell me, does the morning

Author: Sydney S. Brewer Appears in 81 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: DAWNING

Behold the Saviour at the door!

Author: Anon. Appears in 625 hymnals 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.

God Almighty, We Are Waiting

Author: Ann Bell Worley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Waiting; Waiting First Line: God Almignty, we are waiting Lyrics: 1 God Almighty, we are waiting for a Savior to appear. Meet us in our desert journey; give a sign that you are near: burning bushes, parted waters, food aplenty in the wild. As we look for signs and wonders, help us see you in a child. 2 God Incarnate, we are waiting for the feast day of your birth. Looking back and looking forward to the Christ's return to earth. Help us to proclaim the gospel, 'til the world is reconciled. Let us set your holy table for each woman, man, and child. 3 God the Spirit, we are waiting for your presence here and now. Humbled by our sinful weakness, at your mercy we will bow. Search our hearts and make us ready, speak in language strong and mild, help each one of us, your people, to receive you like a child.
