As drowsy earth is dreaming still

Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 As drowsy earth is dreaming still Of coming good and golden days, An angel voice the heavens thrill: Fear God, ye people, give him praise; 2 The long-appointed Judgment hour Is come at last; worship ye him Who by his own almighty power Made heaven, earth, sea, and gushing stream. 3 Another cry the earth doth greet, The second angel's voice divine: Great Babel's fall is now complete; Nations are drunken with her wine. 4 Now the third angel's voice resounds, A final, fearful, warning voice Against false worship; and propounds God's word and worship for men's choice. 5 Here saints in patience waiting stand, Through faith obedient to God's will, Fulfilling each divine command Till called to stand on Zion's hill. Used With Tune: HARTEL

Here young and old, here great and small

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: Here young and old, here great and small, Here rich and poor together meet: 111 The Lord, the Maker of them all, Gives audience from the Mercy-seat. While faith may see Him eye to eye, And guilt in vain would shun the light, The hidden things of darkness lie Naked and open to His sight. Not as to others we may seem, Who look but on the outward guise; Or of ourselves we fondly dream, A foolish people and unwise:-- But what we are in heart and soul, His sin-abhorring eyes discern; On Him we wait, the true, the whole Sad secret of ourselves to learn. Taught by His Son, may we believe In Him our Father reconciled; Led by His Spirit, each receive His kingdom as a little child. With reverence, then, and godly fear, While prayer and praise our tongues employ, O that we all may now draw near To God, as our exceeding joy!

Joyful in Thy House of Prayer

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: Joyful in Thy House of Prayer, Shall Thy chosen people be; God of mercy, meet me there, While my spirit waits on Thee. There, with strength renew'd, the saint As on eagle wings shall fly, Walk and run, and never faint, Fight and conquer,--so would I. There, with faces Zion-ward, When transgressors ask the way To the city of the Lord, Each shall hear the watchman say:-- 118 To the Cross direct thine eyes, Thither from destruction flee, For the gates of paradise Open stand on Calvary. "He who bore a sinner thence, As a trophy of his death, There will pardon thine offence, There receive thy latest breath." There, where my Redeemer died, Humbly in the dust I fall; Jesus, and Him crucified, Now shall be mine all in all.

Jesus soon is coming

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: Long for my Saviour I've been waiting Lyrics: 1 Long for my Saviour I've been waiting, Long time have watched by night and day; Feared, lest my faith and hope abating, I should lose courage by the way. Chorus: Jesus soon is coming; This is my song; Cheers the heart when joys depart, And foes are pressing strong. 2 Here in this vale of sin and sorrow I have been wandering many years, Still looking for that happy morrow When God would wipe away my tears. [Chorus] 3 Ofttimes the tempter comes in power, Fain then would lead my steps astray; But when the clouds begin to lower, Hope turns the darkness into day. [Chorus] 4 O it will be but little longer I must these many woes endure; Then let my faith and hope grow stronger; My Father's promise still is sure. [Chorus] Used With Tune: EXPECTATION

How happy are the little flock

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 How happy are the little flock Who safe beneath their guardian Rock In all commotions rest! When war's and tumult's waves run high, Unmoved above the storm they lie, And lodge in Jesus' breast. 2 The plague, and dearth, and din of war, Our Saviour's swift approach declare, And bid our hearts arise; The signs confirm our trembling hope, While scoffers still in darkness grope, And view them with surprise. 3 Thy tokens we with joy confess; The war proclaims the Prince of peace; The earthquake speaks thy power; The famine all thy fullness brings; The plague presents thy healing wings, And nature's final hour. 4 Whatever ills the world befall, A pledge of endless good we call, A sign of Jesus near. His chariot will not long delay; We hear the rumbling wheels, and pray, "Triumphant Lord, appear!" Used With Tune: CHARDON

Lo! an angel loud proclaiming

Author: H. S. Gurney Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Lo! an angel loud proclaiming, Brings the gospel of good cheer; Every kindred, tongue, and people, Fear the Lord, soon to appear! Proclamation Of the hour of Judgment near. 2 Lo! another angel follows, With another solemn cry; "Babylon the great is fallen!" Peals like thunder through the sky: "Let my people Now from all her errors fly." 3 Yet, a third and solemn message Now a final doom proclaims; All who worship beast or image Soon shall feel the avenging flames: Grace no longer Shelters their unworthy names. 4 Here are they who now are waiting, And have patience to endure; While the dragon's hosts are raging, These confide in God, secure: Faith of Jesus And commandments keep them pure.

God, your Father, rules the nations, Christ will for his saints appear. [Chorus] Used With Tune: GOOD CHEER

What though the angry waves roll high

Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 What though the angry waves roll high, And darkness reigns around? Let hope be bright in every eye; Our ship is homeward bound. What though no moon nor stars appear Amid the gloom profound? We will not yield a place to fear; Our ship is homeward bound. 2 What though the lightnings glare above, And deafening thunders roar? Yet with the eye of faith and love We view the distant shore. We know that friends will meet us there, We loved in life before; And angel forms, all bright and fair, Line the immortal shore. 3 Then let the fearful thunders roar, And let the lightnings glare; We're nearing the eternal shore, And we are almost there. Then heave, ye waves, on every side, And onward, homeward bear Our fragile bark, 'gainst wind and tide; For we are almost there. 4 The coward peers, with trembling form, Into the gloom profound; But we can smile to view the storm; Our ship is homeward bound: And though for us, on time's dark wave No place of rest be found, O let our hearts be true and brave; Our ship is homeward bound. Used With Tune: PERSEVERANCE
