Waiting and Watching

Author: S. M. H. Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: We know not the time when He cometh Lyrics: 1. We know not the time when He cometh, At even, or midnight, or morn; It may be at deepening twilight, It may be at earliest dawn.

Chorus: Waiting and watching, Waiting and watching; Waiting and watching, Still waiting and watching for Thee. 2. I think of His wonderful pity, The price our salvation hath cost; He left the bright mansions of glory To suffer and die for the lost. And sometimes I think it will please Him, When those whom He died to redeem, Rejoice in the hope of His coming By waiting and watching for Him. [Chorus] 3. O Jesus, my loving Redeemer, Thou knowest I cherish as dear The hope that mine eyes shall behold Thee, That I shall thine own welcome hear! If to some as a Judge thou appearest, Who forth from Thy presence would feel, A Friend most beloved I'll greet Thee, I'm waiting and watching for Thee. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [We know not the time when He cometh]

Place of Sacred Rest

Author: Anon. Appears in 79 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal First Line: There is a place of sacred rest Lyrics: 1. There is a place of sacred rest, Far, far beyond the skies, Where beauty smiles eternally, And pleasure never dies; My Father's house, my heav'nly home, Where many mansions stand, Prepared, by hands divine, for all Who seek the better land. 2. When tossed upon the waves of life, With fear on ev'ry side, When fiercely howls the gath'ring storm And foams the angry tide, Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom, Breaks forth the light of morn, Bright beaming from my Father's house, To cheer the soul forlorn. 3. In that pure home of tearless joy Earth's parted friends shall meet, With smiles of love that never fade, And blessedness complete. There, there adieus are sounds unknown; Death frowns not on that scene, But life and glorious beauty shine, Untroubled and serene. Used With Tune: OAKLEY
