Happy day! happy day!
Author: U. Smith Appears in 5 hymnals 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]

A little while, our Lord shall come

And we shall wander here no more;
He'll take us to our Father's home,
Where he for us has gone before.

Let us the precious hours redeem,
Our only grief to give him pain,
Our joy to serve and follow him.
3 A little while, 'twill soon be past,
Why should we shun the shame and cross;
O let us in his footsteps haste,
Counting for him all else but loss.

For thee thy church has tarried long;
Take thy poor, wearied pilgrims home,
To sing the new, eternal song.

Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear

Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,
Then trim your lamps with godly fear;
The Master's scorning draweth near,
Let every lamp be nearing.

The last great message spurning,
We'll rest our living faith upon
His promise of returning. [Chorus]

We cannot be mistaken;
Though dangers rise on every side.
We shall not be forsaken. [Chorus]

When faith has firmly bound us. [Chorus] Used With Tune: DILIGENCE

Time, thou speedest on but slowly
Author: Catherine Winkworth Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Time, thou speedest on but slowly;
Hours, how tardy is your pace!
Ere with him, the high and holy,
I hold converse face to face.
Here is naught but care and mourning
Comes a joy, it will not stay;
Fairly shines the sun at dawning,
Night will soon o'ercloud the day.
2 Onward then! not long I wander
Ere my Saviour comes for me,
And with him abiding yonder,
All his glory I shall see.
O, the music and the singing
Of the hosts redeemed by love!
O, the hallelujahs ringing
Through the halls of light above! Used With Tune: ONWARD

All power to thee is given;
Now set the last great empire up,
Eternal Lord of heaven!

Wilt all thy children bless;
And every knee to thee shall bow,
And every tongue confess.

Now be thy grace revealed,
And with the knowledge of the Lord
Let all the earth be filled. Used With Tune: EL KADER

And live forever and reign with me;

To live forever and reign with me;
Only have faith! Used With Tune: HAVE YOU FAITH?

Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh
Author: Mrs. Rebekah Smith Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh:
Look up! redemption draweth nigh.
Have loved ones gone? does earth look drear?
Look up! shed not that bitter tear.
2 What though the heart is saddened now,
And shadows gather on thy brow,
And grief the bosom heaveth still?
Look up! submit to Heaven's own will.
3 Do trials unexpected rise?
Look up! and view the glorious prize;
Let not life's sorrows press you down;
Look up! prepare to take the crown.
4 Lift up your head, rejoice and sing;
Look up! by faith behold your King.
He soon is coming, heed his call;
Look up! and make your God your all.
5 He'll come, all troubles here to end;
He'll come, a never-failing friend;
He'll come to take his children home;
Look up! and pray, "Lord, quickly come." Used With Tune: HARMONY CHANT
Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh
