In expectation sweet

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #816 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 In expectation sweet, We'll wait, and sing, and pray, Till Christ's triumphal car we meet, And see an endless day. 2 He comes! the conqueror comes! Death falls beneath his sword; The joyful prisoners burst the tombs, And rise to meet their Lord. 3 The trumpet sounds, Awake! The saints the call obey; Their joyful upward flight they take To realms of endless day. 4 Thrice happy morn for those Who love the ways of peace; No night of sorrow e'er shall close Or shade their perfect bliss. Tune Title: LEIGHTON

There is a King of glory

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #870 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 There is a King of glory, Ere long on earth to rise, Sung in prophetic story, Descending from the skies; The Babe of Bethlehem 'tis he; It is the man of Calvary, Not crowned with thorns, and gory, But crowned with glory now! Not crowned with thorns to-day, Not mocked and led away, But crowned with everlasting glory now! 2 He cometh, cometh speedy, To save his suffering saints, Saints groaning, waiting, ready, And endeth their complaints; With joy they meet him in the air, And shout the swelling triumph there; No longer poor and needy, But crowned with glory now! Not one's reviled to-day! None stumble in the way All crowned with everlasting glory now. 3 O tears, and sin, and sighing, Now let your prisoner go, Discharged from pain and dying And from a world of woe; I go to Christ, he comes to me, We meet in bright eternity, On clouds he cometh flying, On clouds of glory now! Victorious in his wars, Full many a palm he bears, And crowns of everlasting glory now! 4 O, what is tribulation, And all the ills I bear, Compared with this salvation, And all the glory there? Behold a city fair and high, Bright capital of earth and sky, The joy of all creation, And filled with glory now! The armies of his grace, Triumphant reach the place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! 5 There every sight that pleases, There every sound that cheers, There sweet, immortal breezes, Inspire the balmy years; There all the just join in a band, From every age, from every land, While o'er them reigns King Jesus, With crowns of glory now! The people of his grace, Have reached the heavenly place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! Tune Title: KING OF GLORY

Dawn

Hymnal: Christ in Song #935 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: O'er the distant mountain breaking Lyrics: 1. O'er the distant mountain breaking, Comes the red'ning dawn of day; Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking, Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray; 'Tis the Saviour 'Tis the Saviour On his bright returning way. 2. O thou long-expected! weary Waits my anxious soul for thee; Life is dark, and earth is dreary Where thy light I do not see: O my Saviour, O my Saviour, When wilt thou return to me? 3. Long, too long, in sin and sadness, Far away from thee I pine; When, O when shall I the gladness Of thy Spirit feel in mine? O my Saviour, O my Saviour, When shall I be wholly thine? 4. Nearer is my soul's salvation, Spent the night, the day at hand; Keep me in my lowly station, Watching for thee, till I stand, O my Saviour, O my Saviour, In thy bright and promised land. 5. With my lamp well-trimm'd and burning, Swift to hear, and slow to roam, Watching for thy glad returning To restore me to my home; Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour, O my Saviour, quickly come!

As drowsy earth is dreaming still

Author: R. F. Cottrell Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #789 (1886) 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.

When will our Lord appear? We long to see the glorious day When Jesus will draw near. 3 We wait to see our Lord descend, Arrayed in robes of light; To Satan's kingdom put an end, And claim his proper right. 4 We long to hear the trumpet sound, And see the just arise; We long to see our Saviour crowned, And meet him in the skies.

He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned. Tune Title: EL KADER

O why this long delay? 2 Come, for creation groans, Impatient of thy stay; Worn out by these long years of ill, These ages of delay. 3 Come, for the corn is ripe! Put in thy sickle now; Reap the great harvest of the earth; Sower and reaper thou. 4 Come, spoil the strong man's house, Bind him and cast him hence; Show thyself stronger than the strong, Thyself Omnipotence. 5 Come, and begin thy reign Of everlasting peace; Come, take the kingdom to thyself, Great King of righteousness.

Jesus died on Calvary's mountain

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #820 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Jesus died on Calvary's mountain Long time ago, And salvation's rolling fountain Now freely flows. 2 Once his voice, in tones of pity, Melted in woe, As he wept o'er Judah's city, Long time ago. 3 Jesus died, yet lives forever, No more to die, Bleeding Jesus, blessed Saviour, Now reigns on high. 4 Now in heaven he's interceding For dying men; Soon he'll finish all his pleading, And come again. 5 Budding fig-trees tell that summer Dawns o'er the land; Signs portend that Jesus' coming Is near at hand. 6 Children, let your lamps be burning, In hope of heaven, Waiting for our Lord's returning At dawn or even. 7 When he comes, a voice from heaven Shall pierce the tomb: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, Children, come home." Tune Title: LONG TIME AGO
