Home, home, beameth before us!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #832 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Home, home, beameth before us!
When, when, shall we be there?
Long, long, here we have wandered,
Burdened with sorrow and care:
Home, home, home, home,
Sorrow breathes not in its air.
2 Home, home, there in thy bowers,
Sweet, sweet music shall swell;
Sin, sin, never can enter
Peace in each bosom shall dwell:
Home, home, home, home,
Peace in each bosom shall dwell.
3 Home, home, rest to the weary,
Peace, peace, to the torn breast;
Hope, hope, hope of the erring;
There in thy bosom we'll rest!
Home, home, home, home,
There will the wanderers rest.
4 Home, home, bliss to the parted;
Friends, friends, meet on its shore;
Here, here, lonely they've left us;
Soon we'll be parted no more:
Home, home, home, home,
Friends will be parted no more.
5 Home, home, let us now hasten,
See, see, angels above!
Hark! hark! now do they call us,
Home to their dwelling of love:
Home, home, home, home,
Home of our Father's kind love. Tune Title: GLAD TIDINGS
Home, home, beameth before us!
How long, O Lord our Saviour
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #833 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord our Saviour,
Wilt thou remain away?
Our hearts are growing weary
Of thy so long delay.
O when shall come the moment,
When, brighter far than morn,
The sunshine of thy glory
Shall on thy people dawn?
2 How long, O gracious Master,
Wilt thou thy household leave?
So long hast thou now tarried,
Few thy return believe.
Immersed in sloth and folly,
Thy servants, Lord, we see;
And few of us stand ready
With joy to welcome thee.
3 O, wake thy slumbering people;
Send forth the solemn cry;
Let all the saints repeat it,
"The Saviour draweth nigh!"
May all our lamps be burning,
Our loins well girded be,
Each longing heart preparing
With joy thy face to see. Tune Title: WEBB
How long, O Lord our Saviour
The world is very evil
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #834 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil,
The times are waxing late;
Be sober and keep vigil;
The Judge is at the gate,
The Judge who comes in mercy,
The Judge who comes with might,
Who comes to end the evil,
Who comes to crown the right.
2 Arise, arise, good Christian,
Let right to wrong succeed;
Let penitential sorrow
To heavenly gladness lead,
To light that has no evening,
That knows no moon nor sun,
The light so new and golden,
The light that is but one.
3 Behold the morn shall waken,
And shadows shall decay,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as does the day;
And God, our King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
Shall we behold forever,
And worship face to face. Tune Title: WEBB
The world is very evil
There is sweet rest in heaven
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #836 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: O when shall I see Jesus Lyrics: 1 O when shall I see Jesus,
And in his kingdom dwell?
Partake its rest eternal,
Its songs triumphant swell?
When shall I be delivered
From this vain world of sin,
And with my blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in?
Refrain:
There is sweet rest in heaven,
There is sweet rest in heaven,
There is sweet rest, there is sweet rest,
There is sweet rest in heaven.
2 And when the last loud trumpet
Shall rend the vaulted skies,
And the entombed millions
From their cold beds arise,
Our ransomed dust revived,
Bright beauties shall put on,
And soar to the blest mansions
Where our Redeemer's gone. [Refrain]
3 Our eyes shall then with rapture
The Saviour's face behold;
Our feet, no more diverted,
Shall walk the streets of gold;
Our ears shall hear with transport
The hosts celestial sing;
Our tongues shall chant the glory
Of our immortal King. [Refrain]
Tune Title: SWEET REST IN HEAVEN
There is sweet rest in heaven
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings
Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #837 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Toward heaven, thy native place.
Sun, and moon, and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;
Rise, my soul, and haste away
To seats prepared above.
2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source:
So a soul that's born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
3 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn!
Press onward to the prize;
Soon thy Saviour will return
To take thee to the skies:
There is everlasting peace,
Rest, enduring rest in heaven;
There will sorrow ever cease,
And crowns of joy be given. Tune Title: AMSTERDAM
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings
Ye who rose to meet the Lord
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #838 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Ye who rose to meet the Lord,
Ventured on his faithful word,
Faint not now, for your reward
Will be quickly given.
Faint not, always watch and pray;
Jesus will no more delay;
Even now 'tis dawn of day;
Day-star beams from heaven.
2 Would ye to the end endure?
Keep the wedding garment pure,
Claim ye still the promise sure,
Faithful is the Lord!
Let your lamps be burning bright;
In God's word is beaming light;
Live by faith, and not by sight
Crowns are your reward.
3 Mid the darts of angry foe,
Onward, fearless, onward go,
The good soldier's courage show,
On to victory!
Let thine eyes be turned to me,
Jesus says, "I'll rescue thee;
Overcome, and faithful be,
Thou shalt glory see!"
4 Tones of thunder through the sky,
Angel voices sounding high,
Echo still the mighty cry,
"Jesus, quickly come!"
Quickly he'll return again,
With his saints he'll come to reign,
While all heaven will shout, "Amen!
Welcome to thy throne!"
5 Marriage supper now prepared,
By the guests will then be shared,
In fair, righteous robes arrayed,
Like the Bridegroom King.
Glory to Jehovah's name!
Sound aloud the glad acclaim,
To the Lamb that once was slain,
Alleluias bring! Tune Title: CALEDONIA
Ye who rose to meet the Lord
When shall I see the day
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #839 (1886) 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.
Tune Title: CALEDONIA
When shall I see the day
Away with our sorrow and fear!
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #841 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Away with our sorrow and fear!
We soon shall recover our home;
The city of saints shall appear,
The day of eternity come.
From earth we shall quickly remove,
And mount to our promised abode,
The house of our Father above,
The palace of angels and God.
2 By faith we already behold
That lovely Jerusalem here;
Her walls are of jasper and gold,
As crystal her buildings are clear.
Immovably founded in grace,
She stands as she ever has stood;
And soon, at the end of our race,
We'll rest in that city of God. Tune Title: CONTRAST
Away with our sorrow and fear!
Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Author: Sydney S. Brewer Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #842 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Of fair Zion's glory dawn?
Have the signs that mark its 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 through all the earth are gleaming,
Omens of the coming day
When the Jubal trumpet, sound,
Shall awake from earth 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,
Towering '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 flowers;
On, just yonder, O how cheering!
Bloom forever Eden's bowers.
Hark! the choral strains are ringing,
Wafted on the balmy air,
See the millions, hear them singing,
Soon the pilgrim will be there. Tune Title: DAWNING
Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Long upon the mountains, weary
Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #844 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Long upon the mountains, weary;
Have the scattered flock been torn;
Dark the desert paths, and dreary;
Grievous trials have they borne.
Now the gathering call is sounding,
Solemn in its warning voice;
Union, faith, and love, abounding,
Bid the little flock rejoice.
2 Now the light of truth they're seeking,
In its onward track pursue;
All the ten commandments keeping,
They are holy, just, and true.
On the words of life they're feeding,
Precious to their taste, so sweet;
All their Master's precepts heeding,
Bowing humbly at his feet.
3 In that world of light and beauty,
In that golden city fair,
Soon its pearly gates they'll enter,
And of all its glories share.
There, divine the soul's expansions;
Free from sin, and death, and pain;
Tears will never dim those mansions
Where the saints immortal reign.
4 Soon He comes! with clouds descending;
All his saints, entombed, arise;
The redeemed, in anthems blending,
Shout their victory through the skies.
O, we long for thine appearing;
Come, O Saviour, quickly come!
Blessed hope! our spirits cheering,
Take my ransomed children home. Tune Title: GREENVILLE
Long upon the mountains, weary
