I long to behold him arrayed

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #840 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 I long to behold him arrayed With glory and light from above; The King in his beauty displayed, His beauty of holiest love: I languish, and sigh to be there, Where Jesus hath fixed his abode; O, when shall we meet in the air, And fly to the mountain of God? 2 With him, I on Zion shall stand, For Jesus has spoken the word; The breadth of Immanuel's land, Survey, by the side of my Lord. But when, on thy bosom reclined, Thy face I am strengthened to see, My fullness of rapture I find, My heaven of heavens, in thee. 3 How happy the people whose home Is found in the city of God! As pilgrims no more they shall roam, Nor travel a dangerous road. Physician divine, unto me Thy soul-healing blessing now give, And keep me while waiting for thee, And then to that city receive. Tune Title: CONTRAST

Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #848 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning; Strike your tents, and homeward haste: Sleep not while the blush of morning Calls you on the desert waste, Though the way is dark and dreary, Life's sharp anguish must be borne; Courage, then, ye faint and weary, Linger not to weep and morn. 2 Pilgrims, on! the storm is beating, Beating wildly on your way: Tarry not, the time is fleeting; Shall the storm your footsteps stay? Hasten on, through joy and sorrow, Or whatever may betide, Wait not for the calm to-morrow, Faithful at your work abide. 3 Pilgrims, on! what though in dangers, Life's eventful course pursue; Labor on, ye friendless strangers, Grace will guide you safely through. What if trials must befall you! What if fierce temptations rise! Shall earth's bitter strife appall you While contending for the prize? 4 Pilgrims, on! there's rest in heaven, Rest from every anxious care, Rest in Jesus' smiles, forgiven, Peaceful and eternal there. O, 'twere sweet to toil in sadness, O, 'twere well the cross to bear, If, at last in joy and gladness, We may rest forever there! Tune Title: ONWARD

O'er the distant mountain breaking

Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #856 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O'er the distant mountain breaking, Comes the reddening dawn of day; Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking, Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray; '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, 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, 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, In thy bright and promised land. 5 With my lamp well-trimmed and burning Swift to hear, and slow to roam, Watching for thy glad returning To restore me to my home; Come, my Saviour, O my Saviour, quickly come!

Lo! an angel loud proclaiming

Author: H. S. Gurney Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #859 (1886) 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.

O land of rest, for thee I sigh

Author: Elizabeth Mills Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #807 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O land of rest, for thee I sigh; When will the moment come When I shall lay my armor by, And dwell with Christ at home? 2 No tranquil joys on earth I know, No peaceful, sheltering dome; This world's a wilderness of woe, This world is not my home. 3 To Jesus Christ I sought for rest; He bade me cease to roam, And fly for succor to his breast, And he'd conduct me home. 4 When by affliction sharply tried, Faith tells of scenes to come, Those endless joys prepared above, And then I sigh for home. 5 Weary of wandering round and round This vale of sin and gloom, I long to leave the unhallowed ground, And dwell with Christ at home. Tune Title: LAND OF REST

Lyrics: 1 Heir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber? Why art thou sleeping so near thy blest home? Wake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor, Speed, for the moments are hurrying on. 2 Earth's mighty nations, in strife and commotion, Tremble with terror, and sink in dismay; Listen, 'tis naught but the chariot's loud rumbling; Heir of the kingdom, no longer delay. 3 Stay not, O stay not for earth's vain allurements! See how its glory is passing away; Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o'er thee; Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away. 4 Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted; Watch for the glory of earth's coming King; Lo! o'er the mountaintops light is now breaking; Heir of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing.

We Would See Jesus

Author: Anna B. Warner Hymnal: Christ in Song #870 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: "We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthen Lyrics: 1. "We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthen Across the little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last conflict in this mortal strife. 2. "We would see Jesus," Rock of our salvation, Whereon our feet were set with sov'reign grace; Not life, nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, gazing on his face. 3. "We would see Jesus;" other lights are paling, Which for long years we did rejoice to see; The blessings of this sinful world are failing; We would not mourn them, in exchange for Thee. 4. "We would see Jesus;" this is all we're needing, Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading, Soon to return and end this mortal night!
