How Long?
Author: Anon. Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: How long, O Lord our Saviour 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 slumb'ring 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.

In Silence My Soul Is Waiting
Author: Michael Saward, 1932- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: 1 In silence my soul is waiting,
is waiting for God alone;
deliv'rance from him is coming,
my rescuer, fort, and rock.
In silence my soul is waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
2 You set on a man and you beat him,
the pack of you knock him down;
as a tottering wall he staggers,
sub-sides like a sagging fence.
In silence my soul is waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
3 You plot for his undermining,
you slander him with your lies;
you love, with faint praise, to damn him;
sweet tongued, you've a curse-filled heart.
In silence my soul is waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
4 Be silent, my soul, in waiting,
in waiting for God alone;
assurance from him is coming,
my rescuer, fort, and rock.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
5 There's safety in God, and honor,
my refuge, my rock, my strength,
so hide in our God, you people,
and pour out your hearts to him.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
6 Just puffs of the wind, the people,
great men are illusions, all;
as breath in the air, they're measured,
then weightless they fade away.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
7 Don't trust, then, in cruel extortion,
don't plunder, defraud, and steal;
don't set your heart on possessions,
especially if they increase.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
8 Uniquely, our God has spoken,
of two things I've heard him speak;
he's the source of pow'r and mercy;
to men he repays their deeds.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved. Scripture: Psalm 62 Used With Tune: SILENCE

glimpses of truth thou hast for me;
place in my hands the wonderful key
that shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see;
open my eyes: illumine me,
Spirit divine!
2 Open my ears, that I may hear
voices of truth thou sendest clear,
and while the wave-notes fall on my ear,
everything false will disappear.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see;
Open my ears: illumine me,
Spirit divine!
3 Open my mouth, and let me bear
gladly the warm truth everywhere;
open my heart and let me prepare
love with thy children thus to share.
Silently now I wait for thee,
ready, my God, thy will to see;
open my heart, illumine me,
Spirit divine! Scripture: Psalm 119:18 Used With Tune: OPEN MY EYES

There is sweet rest in heaven

And in his kingdom dwell?
Partake its rest eternal,
Its songs triumphant swell?

From this vain world of sin,
And with my blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in?

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]
