Watchman, Tell Me

Author: S. S. Brewer Appears in 84 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: Watchman, tell me, does the morning Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell me, does the morning Of fair Zion's glory dawn? Have the signs that marks His coming Yet upon thy pathway shone? Pilgrim, yes! arise, look round thee; Light is breaking in the skies; Gird thy bridal robes around thee, Morning dawns, arise! arise! 2 Watchman, see, the light is beaming Brighter still upon thy way, Signs thro' all the earth are gleaming, Omens of the coming day When the Jubal trumpet, sounding, Shall awake from land and sea All the saints of God, now sleeping, Clad in immortality. 3 Watchman, hail the light ascending Of the grand Sabbatic year; All with voices loud proclaiming That the kingdom now is near: Pilgrim, yes, I see just yonder, Canaan's glorious hights arise; Salem, too, appears in grandeur, Tow'ring 'neath its sunlit skies. 4 Watchman, in the golden city, Seated on his jasper throne, Zion's King, arrayed in beauty, Reigns in peace from zone to zone. There on sunlit hills and mountains, Golden beams serenely glow; Purling streams and crystal fountains, On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow. 5 Watchman, see, the land is nearing, With its vernal fruits and flow'rs; On, just yonder, O how cheering! Bloom forever Eden's bow'rs. Hark! the choral strains are ringing. Wafted on the balmy air; See the millions, hear them singing, Soon the pilgrim will be there. Used With Tune: DAWNING

Ten Thousand Times

Author: Rev. H. Alford Appears in 443 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Meeting in Heaven First Line: Ten thousand times ten thousand Lyrics: 1. Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light. 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2. What rush of hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky! The ringing of a thousand harps Proclaims the triumph high. O day for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3. O then what raptured, greetings On Canaan's happy shore! What knitting severed friendship where Death partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late: Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4. Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain, Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy pow'r and reign; Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come!

Pray for Reapers

Author: Maxwell Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Harvest Time First Line: Saints of God, the dawn is bright'ning Lyrics: 1 Saints of God, the dawn is bright'ning, Tokens of the coming Lord; O'er the earth the fields are whit'ning, Louder rings the Master's word: Pray for reapers, Pray for reapers, In the harvest of the Lord. 2 Feebly now they toil in sadness, Weeping o'er the waste around, Slowly gath'ring grains of gladness, While their echoing cries resound: Pray that reapers, Pray that reapers, In God's harvest may abound. 3 Now, O Lord, ful fill thy pleasure, Breathe upon thy chosen band, And with pentecostal measure, Send forth reapers in our land; Faithful reapers, Faithful reapers, Gath'ring sheaves for thy right hand. 4 Soon shall end the time of weeping, Soon the reaping time will come, Heav'n and earth together keeping God's eternal harvest home; Saints and angels, Saints and angels, Shout the world's great harvest home.
