Ere Long the Veil Will Rend in Twain
Author: P. P. Pratt Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ere long the veil will rend in twain,
The King descend with all His train,
The earth shall shake with awful fright,
And all creation feel His might.
The angel's trumpet long shall sound,
And wake the nations under ground;
Throughout the vast domain of space
'Twill echo back from place to place.
2. Lift up your heads, ye Saints in peace,
The Savior comes for your release,
The day of the redeemed has come,
When Saints shall all be welcomed home.
Behold the Church! it soars on high
To meet the Saints amid the sky,
To hail the King in clouds of fire,
And tune and strike the immortal lyre
3. Hosanna! now the trump shall sound,
Proclaim the joys of heav'n around,
When all the Saints together join
In songs of love, and all devine.
With Enoch here we all shall meet,
And worship at Messiah's feet,
Unite our hands and hearts in love,
And reign on thrones with Christ above.
4. Celestial crowns we shall receive,
And glories great our God will give;
While loud hosannas we'll proclaim,
And sound aloud the Savior's name
Our hearts and tongues shall join in one,
To praise the Father and the Son,
While all the heav'ns shall shout again,
And all creation say, Amen. Used With Tune: [Ere long the veil will rend in twain]

O Give Me Back My Prophet Dear
Author: John Taylor Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O, give me back my Prophet dear Lyrics: 1. O, give me back my Prophet dear,
And Patriarch, O give them back,
The Saints of Latter-days to cheer,
And lead them in the Gospel track!
But O, they're gone from my embrace,
From earthly scenes their spirits fled,
Two of the best of Adam's race,
Now lie entombed among the dead.
2. Ye men of wisdom, tell me why —
No guilt, no crime in them were found —
Their blood doth now so loudly cry,
From prison walls and Carthage ground?
Your tongues are mute, but pray attend,
The secret I will now relate,
Why those whom God to earth did lend,
Have met the suffering martyrs' fate
3. It is because they strove to gain,
Beyond the grave a heaven of bliss,
Because they made the Gospel plain
And led the Saints to righteousness;
It is because God called them forth,
And led them by His own right hand.
Christ's coming to proclaim on eath,
And gather Israel to their land
4. It is because the priest of Baal
Were desperate their craft to save,
And when they saw it doomed to fail,
They sent the Prophets to their grave
Like scenes the ancient Prophets saw,
Like these the ancient Prophets fell.
And, till the resurrection dawn,
Prophet and Patriarch, farewell Used With Tune: [O, give me back my Prophet dear]
O Give Me Back My Prophet Dear
