A few more years shall roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #817 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall meet the loved who now
Are sleeping in the tomb:
Then, O may Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that calm day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
3 A few more struggles here,
A few more partings sore,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
4 'Tis but a little while,
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we may with him reign:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away! Tune Title: BONAR
A few more years shall roll
O for the robes of whiteness!
Author: C. L. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #835 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O for the robes of whiteness!
O for the tearless eyes!
O for the glorious brightness
Of the unclouded skies!
O for the no more weeping,
Within that land of love,
The endless joy of keeping
The bridal feast above!
2 O for the bliss of flying,
My risen Lord to meet!
O for the rest of lying
Forever at his feet!
O for the hour of seeing
My Saviour face to face!
The hope of ever being
In that sweet meeting-place!
3 Jesus, thou King of Glory,
I soon shall dwell with thee;
I soon shall sing the story
Of thy great love to me:
Meanwhile, my thoughts shall enter
E'en now before thy throne,
That all my love may center
In thee, and thee alone. Tune Title: WEBB
O for the robes of whiteness!
We are living, we are dwelling
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #847 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time;
In an age on ages telling
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Gog and Magog to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth? Is creation
Groaning for her latter day?
2 Christian, rouse and arm for conflict,
Nerve thee for the battle-field;
Bear the helmet of salvation,
And the mighty gospel shield;
Let the breastplate, peace, be on thee,
Take the Spirit's sword in hand;
Boldly, fearlessly, go forth then,
In Jehovah's strength to stand.
3 Wicked spirits gather round thee,
Legions of those foes to God
Principalities most mighty
Walk unseen the earth abroad;
They are gathering to the battle,
Strengthened for the last deep strife;
Christian, arm! be watchful, ready,
Struggle manfully for life.
4 And the prince of evil spirits,
Great deceiver of the world!
He who at the blessed Jesus
Once his deadly weapons hurled,
Cometh with unwonted power,
Knowing that his reign will cease
When the kingdom shall be given
To the mighty Prince of peace.
5 Christian, rouse! fight in this warfare,
Cease not till the victory's won;
Till your Captain loud proclaimeth,
"Servant of the Lord, well done!"
He, alone, who thus is faithful,
Who abideth to the end,
Hath the promise, in the kingdom
An eternity to spend.
Tune Title: THE ALARM
We are living, we are dwelling
Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee
Author: John F. Rusling Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #862 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee,
And all the midnight shadows flee;
Tinged are the distant skies with glory,
A beacon light hangs out for thee.
Arise, arise, the light breaks o'er thee,
Thy name is grave on the throne;
Thy home is in that world of glory
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone.
2 Tossed on time's rude, relentless surges,
Calmly composed and dauntless, stand;
For lo, beyond those scenes emerges
The hights that bound the promised land.
Christian, behold, the land is nearing,
Where the wild sea-storm's rage is o'er;
Hark, how the heavenly hosts are cheering!
See in what throngs they range the shore.
3 Cheer up, cheer up, the day breaks o'er thee,
Bright as the summer's noon-tide ray;
The star-gemmed crowns and realms of glory
Invite thy happy soul away.
Away, away, leave all for glory,
Thy name is graven on the throne,
Thy home is in that world of beauty
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone. Tune Title: MORNING LIGHT
Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee
I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #864 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest
In that promised land of the good and the blest.
Where sin can no longer her blandishments spread,
Where tears and temptations forever are fled?
2 I'm weary of sighing o'er sorrows of earth,
O'er joy's glowing visions that fade at their birth,
O'er pangs for the loved which we cannot assuage,
O'er blightings of you and the weakness of age.
3 I'm weary of hoping, where hope is untrue,
As fair but as fleeting as bright morning dew;
I long for that land whose blest promise alone
Is changeless, and sure as eternity's throne.
4 I'm weary of loving what passes away;
The sweetest and dearest, alas! may not stay:
I long for that land where these partings are o'er,
And death and the tomb can divide us no more!
5 O Jesus, my Saviour, when shall I behold
That morning long promised by prophets of old,
When sin's night of sorrow forever is past,
And death's silent captives are ransomed at last? Tune Title: GOSHEN
I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest
Heir of the Kingdom, O, why dost thou slumber?
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #866 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work 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 Heir of the kingdom, say, why dost thou linger?
How canst thou tarry in sight of the prize?
Up, and adorn thee, the Saviour is coming;
Haste to receive him descending the skies.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted;
Watch for the glory of earth's coming King;
Lo! o'er the mountain-tops light is now breaking;
Heirs of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing. Tune Title: RODMAN
Heir of the Kingdom, O, why dost thou slumber?
Behold th' expected time draw near
Author: Mrs. Voke Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #790 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Behold th' expected time draw near,
The shades disperse, the dawn appear!
Behold the wilderness assume
The beauteous tints of Eden's bloom,
The beauteous tints of Eden's bloom!
2 Events with prophecies conspire
To raise our faith, our zeal to fire;
The ripening fields, already white,
Present a harvest to the sight.
Tune Title: HARMONY CHANT
Behold th' expected time draw near
How long we've been the heirs of grace!
Author: S. O. James Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #791 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 How long we've been the heirs of grace!
How long desired a crown to win!
But still we have not reached the place
Where we can say we're free from sin.
2 We patient pray, and gladly sing,
"Thy perfect will, O Lord, be done!"
Our Captain will the victory bring
Which he for us has fairly won.
3 Our works as filthy rags appear,
Except as humbly wrought in thee:
Jesus, thy righteousness 'tis clear
Our righteousness at last must be. Tune Title: HARMONY CHANT
How long we've been the heirs of grace!
Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh
Author: Mrs. Rebekah Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #792 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh:
Look up! redemption draweth nigh.
Have loved ones gone? does earth look drear?
Look up! shed not that bitter tear.
2 What though the heart is saddened now,
And shadows gather on thy brow,
And grief the bosom heaveth still?
Look up! submit to Heaven's own will.
3 Do trials unexpected rise?
Look up! and view the glorious prize;
Let not life's sorrows press you down;
Look up! prepare to take the crown.
4 Lift up your head, rejoice and sing;
Look up! by faith behold your King.
He soon is coming, heed his call;
Look up! and make your God your all.
5 He'll come, all troubles here to end;
He'll come, a never-failing friend;
He'll come to take his children home;
Look up! and pray, "Lord, quickly come." Tune Title: HARMONY CHANT
Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #794 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love
That shows salvation nigh;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love
That shows salvation nigh.
2 Swift on the wings of time it flies;
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year.
3 Not many years their round shall run,
Not many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.
4 Ye wheels of nature, speed your course!
Ye mortal powers, decay!
Haste! till the last glad morning rise
That brings eternal day. Tune Title: ZERAH
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes
