How long we've been the heirs of grace!
Author: S. O. James Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 How long we've been the heirs of grace!
How long desired a crown to win!
But still we have not reached the place
Where we can say we're free from sin.
2 We patient pray, and gladly sing,
"Thy perfect will, O Lord, be done!"
Our Captain will the victory bring
Which he for us has fairly won.
3 Our works as filthy rags appear,
Except as humbly wrought in thee:
Jesus, thy righteousness 'tis clear
Our righteousness at last must be. Used With Tune: HARMONY CHANT
How long we've been the heirs of grace!
Home, home, beameth before us!
Author: Anon. Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Home, home, beameth before us!
When, when, shall we be there?
Long, long, here we have wandered,
Burdened with sorrow and care:
Home, home, home, home,
Sorrow breathes not in its air.
2 Home, home, there in thy bowers,
Sweet, sweet music shall swell;
Sin, sin, never can enter
Peace in each bosom shall dwell:
Home, home, home, home,
Peace in each bosom shall dwell.
3 Home, home, rest to the weary,
Peace, peace, to the torn breast;
Hope, hope, hope of the erring;
There in thy bosom we'll rest!
Home, home, home, home,
There will the wanderers rest.
4 Home, home, bliss to the parted;
Friends, friends, meet on its shore;
Here, here, lonely they've left us;
Soon we'll be parted no more:
Home, home, home, home,
Friends will be parted no more.
5 Home, home, let us now hasten,
See, see, angels above!
Hark! hark! now do they call us,
Home to their dwelling of love:
Home, home, home, home,
Home of our Father's kind love. Used With Tune: GLAD TIDINGS
Home, home, beameth before us!
How shall we come before the Lord?
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics:
How shall we come before the Lord?
And how approach to the Most High?
Met in His house with one accord,
At His commandment we draw nigh.
101
Not hecatombs he now requires,
The daily blood of slaughterd beasts;
Quench'd are the ancient altar fires,
Extinct the line of typic priests.
Man's only Mediator stands
Before the Father's throne to plead
His sole atonement: in his hands
Our cause is safe; it must succeed.
The broken heart in sacrifice,
The contrite spirit let us bring,
For Thou, O God! wilt not despise
Thine own appointed offering.
How shall we come before the Lord?
To Thy Temple I repair
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics:
To Thy Temple I repair,
Lord, I love to worship there,
When within the veil I meet
Christ before the Mercy-seat.
Thou through Him art reconciled,
I through Him become thy child;
Abba! Father! give me grace,
In Thy courts to seek Thy face.
While Thy glorious praise is sung,
Touch my lips, unloose my tongue,
That my joyful soul may bless
Thee, the Lord my Righteousness.
While the prayers of saints ascend,
God of Love, to mine attend;
Hear me, for thy Spirit pleads,
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.
117
While I hearken to Thy Law,
Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till Thy Gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.
While Thy ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon in Thy Name,
Through their voice, by faith, may I
Hear Thee speaking from the sky.
From Thine House, when I return,
May my heart within me burn,
And at evening let me say,
"I have walked with God to-day."
To Thy Temple I repair
Day of redemption! when shall we behold
Author: Anon. Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Day of redemption! when shall we behold
Earth overwhelmed with thy splendor untold?
Dark is this desert, and weary our road;
O for the day-spring that cometh from God!
Deep are earth's shadows, its sorrows and gloom;
Oft is its gladness laid low in the tomb:
Joy and rejoicing like shadows depart,
Grief and affliction abide in the heart.
2 Many the sorrows this sad earth has known;
Hopes have been withered, and hearts have been torn;
Tears have been gushing from fountains of grief;
O for that morning which brings us relief!
Ah, we have tasted of blessings to come;
On we have hasted to gain them at home;
There, in the light of eternity's morn,
Glad shall the saints sing the conquerors' song. Used With Tune: MORNING LIGHT
Day of redemption! when shall we behold
Fear not, little flock, 'tis your Father's good pleasure
Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: LITTLE FLOCK
Fear not, little flock, 'tis your Father's good pleasure
O lift up your heads! your redemption draws near!
Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O lift up your heads! your redemption draws near!
Let nothing discourage, or cause you to fear;
Our Saviour is faithful, his promise is sure
To all who hear trials, hold fast, and endure.
2 Well may you have courage, your cause is the Lord's,
Attested by signs, and with Scripture accords;
And though all the powers of the dragon assail,
The truth, being mighty, will surely prevail.
3 Hold fast that rich treasure, nor e'er lay it down;
Endure to the end and let none take thy crown;
The spirits of darkness will seek to devour,
But Jesus and angels excel them in power.
4 Rich promise to all who shall now overcome!
To be a firm pillar in God's sacred dome,
Inscribed with his name, and the Son of his love,
And that of the city which comes from above. Used With Tune: GOSHEN
O lift up your heads! your redemption draws near!
The coming events of the kingdom of God
Author: Anon. Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The coming events of the kingdom of God
Cast in glory their shadows before;
And my being would leap from its prisoned abode,
And the King in his beauty adore.
And the King in his beauty adore.
2 He comes, and the Spirit that lingers below,
In the hearts of the chosen and tried.
Is quickened, and tells in its mystical flow,
The approach of the Bridegroom and Bride.
3 The love and the joy and the peace of the blest,
Like the day-star, arise in the soul,
And we taste the first-fruits of the Eden of rest,
And we hasten to enter the goal. Used With Tune: COMING EVENTS
The coming events of the kingdom of God
The glories of that heavenly land
Author: Anon. Appears in 9 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: CHOPIN
The glories of that heavenly land
