Brother pilgrim, be not weary

Author: L. D. Santee Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Brother pilgrim, be not weary; Tune your harp for heaven and home, Where the heart is never dreary, And where tears shall never come: Don your armor, be not sleeping; One short hour, and 'twill be past; One brief hour of toil and weeping, Then comes heaven and home at last. 2 Let your eyes to heaven be turning, Darkened sun and falling stars, See the crimson heavens burning, Earth prepared for final wars; Hear the scoffer ask with jeering, "Where's the sign that he is nigh?" Turn your eyes with joy and fearing To the omens in the sky. 3 Signs in nature oft have told us Of the saints' glad jubilee; Soon shall azure skies enfold us, And upon the jasper sea We shall stand in robes of whiteness, Praising him upon the throne, And in heaven's eternal brightness We shall know as we are known.

On time's tempestuous ocean wide

Author: I. I. Leslie Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 On time's tempestuous ocean wide, A gallant ship set sail, And out into the raging deep She stood before the gale, Well fitted to abide the storm, And angry water's foam, And bring the captives that she bore Unto her haven home. 2 Long was to be her voyage the time, Six thousand years almost, Ere she would make the highland hights, Along the heavenly coast; Yet with her sails expanded wide, On, on, she swiftly flew, Bearing with ardent hope and love Her passengers and crew. 3 Oft tempests have assailed her round, And stormy winds rose high; And dark have been the mountain waves That bore her to the sky; But o'er them all, with steady helm, She onward pressed her way; Her compass, true unto the pole, Guides her to endless day. 4 Long, long, she has been out, and now She nears her haven home; A beacon light hangs o'er her bow, And bids her thither come; And voices joyful oft are heard, And music swelling high: "The land! the land! the land ahead!" With rapture now they cry. 5 Now soon will she be safely moored And anchored in the bay; And all her passengers on shore Will keep a festal day; And long their songs of joy will rise Beneath high heaven's dome; They've passed the stormy sea of time, They've reached their haven home.

There is a King of glory

Author: Anon. Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 There is a King of glory, Ere long on earth to rise, Sung in prophetic story, Descending from the skies; The Babe of Bethlehem 'tis he; It is the man of Calvary, Not crowned with thorns, and gory, But crowned with glory now! Not crowned with thorns to-day, Not mocked and led away, But crowned with everlasting glory now! 2 He cometh, cometh speedy, To save his suffering saints, Saints groaning, waiting, ready, And endeth their complaints; With joy they meet him in the air, And shout the swelling triumph there; No longer poor and needy, But crowned with glory now! Not one's reviled to-day! None stumble in the way All crowned with everlasting glory now. 3 O tears, and sin, and sighing, Now let your prisoner go, Discharged from pain and dying And from a world of woe; I go to Christ, he comes to me, We meet in bright eternity, On clouds he cometh flying, On clouds of glory now! Victorious in his wars, Full many a palm he bears, And crowns of everlasting glory now! 4 O, what is tribulation, And all the ills I bear, Compared with this salvation, And all the glory there? Behold a city fair and high, Bright capital of earth and sky, The joy of all creation, And filled with glory now! The armies of his grace, Triumphant reach the place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! 5 There every sight that pleases, There every sound that cheers, There sweet, immortal breezes, Inspire the balmy years; There all the just join in a band, From every age, from every land, While o'er them reigns King Jesus, With crowns of glory now! The people of his grace, Have reached the heavenly place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! Used With Tune: KING OF GLORY

Psalm 143

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Waiting for answer to prayer First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious God Lyrics: My righteous Judge, my gracious God, Hear when I spread my hands abroad, And cry for succor from thy throne; O make thy truth and mercy known! Let judgment not against me pass; Behold, thy servant pleads thy grace: Should justice call us to thy bar, No man alive is guiltless there. Look down in pity, Lord, and see The mighty woes that burden me; Down to the dust my life is brought, Like one long buried and forgot. I dwell in darkness and unseen, My heart is desolate within My thoughts in musing silence trace The ancient wonders of thy grace. Thence I derive a glimpse of hope To bear my sinking spirits up; I stretch my hands to God again, And thirst like parched lands for rain For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn: When will thy smiling face return? Shall all my joys on earth remove? And God for ever hide his love? My God, thy long delay to save Will sink thy pris'ner to the grave; My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye; Make haste to help before I die. The night is witness to my tears, Distressing pains, distressing fears; O might I hear thy morning voice, How would my wearied powers rejoice! In thee I trust, to thee I sigh, And lift my heavy soul on high; For thee sit waiting all the day, And wear the tiresome hours away. Break off my fetters, Lord, and show Which is the path my feet should go; If snares and foes beset the road, I flee to hide me near my God. Teach me to do thy holy will, And lead me to thy heav'nly hill; Let the good Spirit of thy love Conduct me to thy courts above. Then shall my soul no more complain, The tempter then shall rage in vain; And flesh, that was my foe before, Shall never vex my spirit more. Scripture: Psalm 143

Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning

Author: Anon. Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning; Strike your tents, and homeward haste: Sleep not while the blush of morning Calls you on the desert waste, Though the way is dark and dreary, Life's sharp anguish must be borne; Courage, then, ye faint and weary, Linger not to weep and morn. 2 Pilgrims, on! the storm is beating, Beating wildly on your way: Tarry not, the time is fleeting; Shall the storm your footsteps stay? Hasten on, through joy and sorrow, Or whatever may betide, Wait not for the calm to-morrow, Faithful at your work abide. 3 Pilgrims, on! what though in dangers, Life's eventful course pursue; Labor on, ye friendless strangers, Grace will guide you safely through. What if trials must befall you! What if fierce temptations rise! Shall earth's bitter strife appall you While contending for the prize? 4 Pilgrims, on! there's rest in heaven, Rest from every anxious care, Rest in Jesus' smiles, forgiven, Peaceful and eternal there. O, 'twere sweet to toil in sadness, O, 'twere well the cross to bear, If, at last in joy and gladness, We may rest forever there! Used With Tune: ONWARD
