The Crowning Day

Author: El. Nathan Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: Our Lord is now rejected Lyrics: 1. Our Lord is now rejected, And by the world disowned, By the many still neglected, And by the few enthroned, But soon He'll come in glory, The hour is drawing nigh, For the crowning day is coming by and by. Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. 2. The heav'ns shall glow with splendor, But brighter far than they The saints shall shine in glory, As Christ shall them array, The beauty of the Saviour, Shall dazzle ev'ry eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. 3. Our pain shall then be over, We'll sin and sigh no more, Behind us all of sorrow, And naught but joy before, A joy in our Redeemer, As we to Him are nigh, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. 4. Let all that look for, hasten The coming joyful day, By earnest consecration, To walk the narrow way, By gath'ring in the lost ones, For whom our Lord did die, For the crowning day that's coming by and by. Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by.

My Rest is in Heaven

Author: H. F Lyte Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home First Line: My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here Lyrics: 1. My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here. Then why should I tremble when trials are near? Be hush'd, my sad spirit, the worst that can come But shortens my journey, and hastens me home. 2. It is not for me to be seeking my bliss, Nor building my hopes in a region like this; I look for a city that hands have not piled, I pant for a country by sin undefiled. 3. Let doubt, then, and danger, my progress oppose, They only make heaven more sweet at its close; Come joy, or come sorrow, what e'er may befall, An hour with my God will make up for them all. Used With Tune: [My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here]

Both the wind and the wave our Commander controls, Nothing can baffle his skill; And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls, Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus] 4. In the thick murky night, when the stars and the moon, Send not a glimmering ray, Then the light of his countenance, brighter than noon, Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus] 5. Let the high-heaving billows and mountainous wave, Fearfully overhead break; There is One by our side that can comfort and save, There is One who will never forsake.
