O Hasten Thine Appearing

Author: James Martin Gray Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8277 First Line: O dear and longed-for Savior Refrain First Line: Return, Lord Jesus Lyrics: 1 O dear and longed-for Savior, When wilt Thou come again? The promise of Thy coming Awakes one loud "Amen!" Our hearts so long have waited, Our eyes so long have strained! Why tarry so, O chariot, Why are thy wheels restrained? Refrain: Return, Lord Jesus, Thy chariot wheels run slow! O hasten Thine appearing, Thy glory, Thy glory, glory show! 2 Ten thousand hearts are waiting, Ten thousand faces turn Up toward the clouds of glory, Thy movements to discern. We hearken for the trumpet, The great archangel’s voice; Break forth, O grand hosannas! Let Heav’n and earth rejoice! [Refrain] 3 Is yon unearthly glory, That steals across the sky, The marshalling of Thy myriads, That tells us Thou art nigh? Our hearts beat high, Lord Jesus, And our glad spirits rise; Divide, ye starry heavens, Reveal Him to our eyes! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O dear and longed-for Savior]

James M. Gray

1851 - 1935 Author of "O Hasten Thine Appearing" in The Voice of Thanksgiving No. 2 Born: May 11, 1851, New York City. Died: September 21, 1935, Passavant Hospital, Chicago, Illinois. Buried: Woodlawn Cemetery, New York City. Gray accepted Christ at age 22. He was educated at Bates College, Lewiston, Maine (Doctor of Divinity), and the University of Des Moines, Iowa (Doctor of Laws). In 1879 he became Rector of the First Reformed Episcopal Church in Boston, Massachusetts, where he served 14 years. He then became dean (1904-25) and president (1925-34) of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois, and directed publication of four editions (1921-28) of the Voice of Thanksgiving, official hymnal of the Institute. A conservative theologian, Gray was one of seven editors of the popular Scofield Reference Bible. He was a fine scholar and excellent Bible teacher, but his interests went beyond mere academics. He promoted the Sunday School, and took an interest in civic affairs and patriotic causes. He backed efforts at social betterment, supported Prohibition, and wrote about 20 books --www.hymntime.com/tch/
