Savior, when we call, O hear us

Behold in heaven thy blessed home For which thy heart is yearning. There is thy Joy and soul’s Delight Who soon with power and glory bright Will be for thee returning. 2 And when in ev'ry land and clime Thou shalt behold His signs sublime, The sinful world appalling, Then shalt with joy thou lift thine eyes And see Him coming in the skies, While suns and stars are falling. 3 Though for His day thy heart must yearn Do not forget why His return Thy Savior is delaying, And ask Him ne'er before His hour To shake the heavens with His power And judge the lost and straying. 4 O Christendom, for Sodom pray Till sighs and prayers no more can stay The judgment day impending. Then cries the Lord: “Behold, I come,”-- And thou shalt answer: “To Thy home I am with joy ascending.” 5 Then far and wide the trumpet calls, The dead awake, death’s kingdom falls, And God’s elect assemble. The Lord ascends His royal throne And greets His faithful as His own, While hearts in gladness tremble. Topics: Comfort and Hope Used With Tune: [Lift up thy head, O Chrsitendom]

To the sinner, sad and dreary, To each Christian, faint and weary, Give Thou solace and surcease. 3 Keep me, Jesus, while I slumber, Free from perils without number; Shield me, Master, in Thy might, That, released from sin and sorrow, I may sing this song to-morrow: Jesus was my sun this night.
