Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 356 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death,
Come, and by thyself revealing,
Dissipate the clouds beneath.
Thou, new heaven and earth's Creator,
In our deepest darkness rise;
Scattering all the night of nature,
Pouring day up-on our eyes.
2 Still we wait for thy appearing;
Life and joy thy beams impart,
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Every poor benighted heart.
Come, extend thy wonted favor
To our ruined, guilty race;
Come, thou blest, exalted Saviour!
Come, apply thy saving grace.
3 By thine all-atoning merit
Every burdened soul release;
By the teachings of thy Spirit
Guide us into perfect peace;
So shall we, at thine appearing,
Wait thy smiling face to see;
So, the joyful summons hearing,
Enter into rest with thee. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE
Light of those whose dreary dwelling
On the mountain's top appearing
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 602 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing,
Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing
Zion long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive! Mourning captive!
God himself shall loose thy bands.
2 Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful?
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well beloved.
3 God, thy God, will now restore thee;
He himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end:
Great deliverance
Zion's King will surely send. Used With Tune: TAMWORTH

Watchful at His Gate
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 458 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: Ye servants of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait;
Observant of his heavn'ly word,
And watchful at his gate.
Observant of his heav'nly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in his sight;
His coming thus proclaim.
Gird up your loins as in his sight;
His coming thus proclaim.
3 Watch, 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak, he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 O, happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crown'd.
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crown'd. Used With Tune: EL KADER

Long upon the mountains, weary
Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work 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. Used With Tune: GREENVILLE
Long upon the mountains, weary
The church has waited long
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The Church has waited long
Her absent Lord to see;
And still in loneliness she waits,
A friendless stranger she.
2 How long, O Lord our God,
Holy and true and good,
Wilt thou not judge thy suffering Church,
Her sighs and tears and blood?
3 Saint after saint on earth,
Has lived and loved and died;
And as they left us, one by one,
We laid them side by side.
4 We laid them down to sleep,
But not in hope forlorn;
We left them but to slumber there,
Till the last glorious morn.
5 We long to hear thy voice,
To see thee face to face,
To share thy crown and glory then,
As now we share thy grace.
6 Come, Lord, and wipe away
The curse, the sin, the stain,
And make this blighted world of ours
Thine own fair world again. Used With Tune: LEIGHTON
The church has waited long
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow
Author: James Nicholson Appears in 683 hymnals Topics: Waiting on God First Line: Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole Used With Tune: [Lord Jesus, I long to be perfectly whole]
Whiter than snow, yes, whiter than snow
Come, Desire of nations, come!
Author: Anon. Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Come, Desire of nations, come!
Hasten, Lord, the general doom!
With thy holy train descend;
Then our earthly trials end.
2 Mindful of thy chosen race,
Shorten these vindictive days;
We for full redemption groan;
Hear us now, and save thine own.
3 Now destroy the man of sin;
Now thine ancient flock bring in!
Filled with righteousness divine,
Claim a ransomed world for thine.
4 Plant thy heavenly kingdom here;
Glorious in thy saints appear;
Speak the sacred number sealed;
Speak the mystery revealed.
5 Take to thee thy royal power;
Reign, when sin shall be no more;
Reign, when death no more shall be;
Reign to all eternity. Used With Tune: LUBECK
Come, Desire of nations, come!
