Hasten, Lord, the glorious time
Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 299 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Hasten, Lord, the glorious time,
When, beneath Messiah's sway,
Every nation, every clime,
Shall his righteous will obey.
2 Mightiest kings his power shall own;
Heathen tribes his name adore;
Satan and his host, o'erthrown,
Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease;
Then be banished grief and pain;
Righteousness, and joy, and peace,
Undisturbed, shall ever reign. Used With Tune: PLEYEL

The Saviour bids us watch and pray

Obedience is our life.

To call us from our toils away
To our eternal home.
4 The Saviour bids us watch and pray;
For lo! the Judge is near;
O may we joyfully obey,
And watch till he appear!

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
I long to behold him arrayed
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 127 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: CONTRAST
I long to behold him arrayed
O for the robes of whiteness!
Author: C. L. Smith Appears in 32 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: WEBB
O for the robes of whiteness!
Watchmen on the walls of Zion
Author: Anon. Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Watchmen on the walls of Zion,
What, O tell us, of the night?
Is the day-star now arising?
Will the morn soon greet our sight?
O'er your vision
Shine there now some rays of light?
O'er your vision
Shine there now some rays of light?
2 Tell, O tell us, are the landmarks
On our voyage all passed by?
Are we nearing now the haven?
Can we e'en the land descry?
Do we truly
See the heavenly kingdom nigh?
3 Light is beaming, day is coming!
Let us sound aloud the cry;
We behold the day-star rising
Pure and bright in yonder sky!
Saints, be joyful;
Your redemption draweth nigh.
4 We have found the chart and compass,
And are sure the land is near;
Onward, onward we are hasting,
Soon the haven will appear;
Let your voices
Sound aloud your holy cheer. Used With Tune: ZION

Guard Thy Children

From the foe's destructive pow'r;
Save O save them, Lord, from falling
In this dark and trying hour.

All our graces must be tried;
But thy word illumes our pathway,
And in God we still confide.

Soon we shall behold our Lord,
Wafted far away from sorrow,
To receive our rich reward.
Keep us, Lord, till thine appearing,
Pure, unspotted from the world;
Let thy Holy Spirit cheer us
Till thy banner is unfurled.

And take my sins away! Used With Tune: BONAR
