We are living, we are dwelling
Author: Anon. Appears in 203 hymnals 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.
Used With Tune: THE ALARM
We are living, we are dwelling
Son of God, thy people's shield
Author: Anon. Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Son of God, thy people's shield,
Must we still thine absence mourn?
Let thy promise be fulfilled;
Thou hast said, "I will return."
Gracious Master, soon appear
Quickly bring thy morning's light;
Then will cease the constant tear,
Hope be turned to joyful sight.
2 As a woman counts the days
Till her absent lord she sees,
Longs and watches, weeps and prays,
So the church must long for thee.
Come, that we may see thee nigh;
Then the sheep shall feed in peace;
Hushed forever trouble's sigh,
Sin and sorrow's triumph cease. Used With Tune: WATCHMAN
Son of God, thy people's shield
Heir of the Kingdom, O, why dost thou slumber?
Author: Anon. Appears in 12 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: RODMAN
Heir of the Kingdom, O, why dost thou slumber?

Christ is coming! let creation
Author: John R. Macduff Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Christ is coming! let creation
Bid her groans and travails cease;
Let the glorious proclamation
Hope restore and faith increase;
Christ is coming!
Come, thou blessed Prince of peace!

Of thy bitter cross and pain;
She shall yet behold thy glory
When thou comest back to reign;
Christ is coming!
Let each heart repeat the strain.
3 Long thy exiles have been pining,
Far from rest, and home, and thee;
But, in heavenly vesture shining,
Soon they shall thy glory see;
Christ is coming!
Hast the joyous jubilee.

Let no harp remain unstrung;
Let the mighty advent chorus
Onward roll, from tongue to tongue;
Christ is coming!

When shall I see the day
Author: Anon. Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 When shall I see the day
That ends my woes?
When shall I victory gain
O'er all my foes?
2 When the trumpet sound,
That calls me home?
The grand, sabbatic year,
When will it come?
3 In yonder realms of light,
By faith I see
A crown of glory bright,
Prepared for me.
4 O may I soon behold
That happy day,
When sorrow, sin, and pain
Shall flee away!
5 O may I ever keep
The prize in view,
And through the storms of life
My way pursue!
6 Jesus, be thou my guide,
My steps attend;
O keep me near thy side;
Be thou my friend.
7 Be thou my shield and sun,
Be thou my guard;
And, when my work is done,
My great reward.

When shall I see the day
Dear Saviour, we would know thy love
Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, we would know thy love
Which yet no measure knows;
For us it led thee once to die;
From thence salvation flows.
2 Fain would we strike the golden harp,
And wear the promised crown,
And at thy feet, while bending low,
Would sing what grace hath done.
3 Then leave us not in this dark world,
As strangers long to roam;
Come, Lord, and take us to thyself,
Come, Jesus, quickly come! Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
Dear Saviour, we would know thy love
We Would See Jesus
Author: Anna B. Warner Appears in 280 hymnals 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!
Used With Tune: ["We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthen]
We Would See Jesus
Time, thou speedest on but slowly
Author: Catherine Winkworth Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Time, thou speedest on but slowly;
Hours, how tardy is your pace!
Ere with him, the high and holy,
I hold converse face to face.
Here is naught but care and mourning
Comes a joy, it will not stay;
Fairly shines the sun at dawning,
Night will soon o'ercloud the day.
2 Onward then! not long I wander
Ere my Saviour comes for me,
And with him abiding yonder,
All his glory I shall see.
O, the music and the singing
Of the hosts redeemed by love!
O, the hallelujahs ringing
Through the halls of light above! Used With Tune: ONWARD
Time, thou speedest on but slowly
Dear Saviour, here we fainting lie
Author: Anon. Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, here we fainting lie,
And long to see thy face;
Descend, O Jesus, from on high,
In mercy to our race.
2 How long shall that bright hour delay?
When will our Lord appear?
We long to see the glorious day
When Jesus will draw near.
3 We wait to see our Lord descend,
Arrayed in robes of light;
To Satan's kingdom put an end,
And claim his proper right.
4 We long to hear the trumpet sound,
And see the just arise;
We long to see our Saviour crowned,
And meet him in the skies. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
Dear Saviour, here we fainting lie
