Long upon the mountains, weary

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #844 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Long upon the mountains, weary; Have the scattered flock been torn; Dark the desert paths, and dreary; Grievous trials have they borne. Now the gathering call is sounding, Solemn in its warning voice; Union, faith, and love, abounding, Bid the little flock rejoice. 2 Now the light of truth they're seeking, In its onward track pursue; All the ten commandments keeping, They are holy, just, and true. On the words of life they're feeding, Precious to their taste, so sweet; All their Master's precepts heeding, Bowing humbly at his feet. 3 In that world of light and beauty, In that golden city fair, Soon its pearly gates they'll enter, And of all its glories share. There, divine the soul's expansions; Free from sin, and death, and pain; Tears will never dim those mansions Where the saints immortal reign. 4 Soon He comes! with clouds descending; All his saints, entombed, arise; The redeemed, in anthems blending, Shout their victory through the skies. O, we long for thine appearing; Come, O Saviour, quickly come! Blessed hope! our spirits cheering, Take my ransomed children home. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Tune Title: GREENVILLE

Come, thou long-expected Jesus

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #845 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Come, thou long-expected Jesus, Born to set thy people free; From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our rest in thee; Israel's strength and consolation, Hope of all the saints thou art; Dear Desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart. 2 Born, thy people to deliver; Born a child and yet a king; Born to reign o'er us forever; Now thy precious kingdom bring: By thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone; By thine all-sufficient merit Raise us to thy glorious throne.

This is not my place of resting

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #846 (1886) Lyrics: 1 This is not my place of resting; Mine's a city yet to come; Onward, to it, I am hastening, On to my eternal home. In it, all is light and glory; O'er it shines a nightless day; Every trace of sin's sad story, All the curse has passed away. 2 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us By the streams of life along; On the freshest pastures feeds us, Turns our sighing into song. Soon we pass this desert dreary, Soon we bid farewell to pain; Nevermore are sad and weary, Never, never sin again. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Tune Title: GREENVILLE

Thou Hast Said, Exalted Jesus

Author: John E. Giles Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6717 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Thou hast said, exalted Jesus, Take thy cross and follow Me; Shall the word with terror seize us? Shall we from the burden flee? Lord, I’ll take it, Lord, I’ll take it, And rejoicing, follow Thee. 2. While this liquid tomb surveying, Emblem of my Savior’s grave, Shall I shun its brink, betraying Feelings worthy of a slave? No, I’ll enter, no, I’ll enter; Jesus entered Jordan’s wave. 3. Blest the sign which thus reminds me, Savior, of Thy love for me; But more blest the love that binds me In its deathless bonds to Thee; Oh, what pleasure, oh, what pleasure, Buried with my Lord to be! 4. Fellowship with Him possessing, Let me die to earth and sin; Let me rise t’enjoy the blessing Which the faithful soul shall win; May I ever, may I ever Follow where my Lord has been.

Refrain: Babe of Bethlehem renownèd, Bearer of man’s sin and pain, Now with wondrous glory crownèd, Blessèd Stranger, come again. 2 Wave on high your palms before Him; Loud your glad hosannas sing; With the voice of praise adore Him, Hail Him as the children’s king! [Refrain] 3 While the proud and great are scorning, Higher sound the rapturous lays! For from lips of little children, Hath the Lord perfected praise.
