I Am Waiting for the Dawning

Author: S. Trevor Francis Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Christian Life Waiting for Christ's Return Lyrics: 1 I am waiting for the dawning Of that bright and glorious day, When the darksome night of sorrow Shall have vanished far away; When forever with the Saviour, Far beyond this vale of tears, I shall swell the hymn of worship Thru the everlasting years. 2 I am looking at the brightness, See, it shineth from afar, Of the clear and joyous beaming Of the Bright and Morning Star; Thru the dark grey mist of morning I behold its glorious light; Then away with ev'ry shadow Of this sad and weary night. 3 I am waiting for the coming Of the Lord who died for me; Oh, His words have thrilled my spirit, "I will come again for thee." 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.

Then shall I on the mountain-top Behold thy open face, Where faith in sight is swallowed up, And prayer in joyful praise. Used With Tune: PERSEVERANCE

We are living, we are dwelling

Author: Anon. Appears in 205 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling, In a grand and awful time; In an age on ages telling To be living is sublime. Hark! the waking up of nations, Gog and Magog to the fray; Hark! what soundeth? Is creation Groaning for her latter day? 2 Christian, rouse and arm for conflict, Nerve thee for the battle-field; Bear the helmet of salvation, And the mighty gospel shield; Let the breastplate, peace, be on thee, Take the Spirit's sword in hand; Boldly, fearlessly, go forth then, In Jehovah's strength to stand. 3 Wicked spirits gather round thee, Legions of those foes to God Principalities most mighty Walk unseen the earth abroad; They are gathering to the battle, Strengthened for the last deep strife; Christian, arm! be watchful, ready, Struggle manfully for life. 4 And the prince of evil spirits, Great deceiver of the world! He who at the blessed Jesus Once his deadly weapons hurled, Cometh with unwonted power, Knowing that his reign will cease When the kingdom shall be given To the mighty Prince of peace. 5 Christian, rouse! fight in this warfare, Cease not till the victory's won; Till your Captain loud proclaimeth, "Servant of the Lord, well done!" He, alone, who thus is faithful, Who abideth to the end, Hath the promise, in the kingdom An eternity to spend. Used With Tune: THE ALARM
