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]

George Duffield

1818 - 1888 Person Name: G. Duffield Author of "Stand Up for Jesus" in Sunshine No. 2 Duffield, George, Jr., D.D., son of the Rev. Dr. Duffield, a Presbyterian Minister, was born at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Sept. 12, 1818, and graduated at Yale College, and at the Union Theological Seminary, New York. From 1840 to 1847 he was a Presbyterian Pastor at Brooklyn; 1847 to 1852, at Bloomfield, New Jersey; 1852 to 1861, at Philadelphia; 1861 to 1865, at Adrian, Michigan; 1865 to 1869, at Galesburg, Illinois; 1869, at Saginaw City, Michigan; and from 1869 at Ann Arbor and Lansing, Michigan. His hymns include;— 1. Blessed Saviour, Thee I love. Jesus only. One of four hymns contributed by him to Darius E. Jones's Temple Melodies, 1851. It is in 6 stanzas of 6 lines. In Dr. Hatfield's Church Hymnbook it is given in 3 stanzas. The remaining three hymns of the same date are:— 2. Parted for some anxious days. Family Hymn. 3. Praise to our heavenly Father, God. Family Union. 4. Slowly in sadness and in tears. Burial. 5. Stand up, stand up for Jesus. Soldiers of the Cross. The origin of this hymn is given in Lyra Sac. Americana, 1868, p. 298, as follows:— "I caught its inspiration from the dying words of that noble young clergyman, Rev. Dudley Atkins Tyng, rector of the Epiphany Church, Philadelphia, who died about 1854. His last words were, ‘Tell them to stand up for Jesus: now let us sing a hymn.' As he had been much persecuted in those pro-slavery days for his persistent course in pleading the cause of the oppressed, it was thought that these words had a peculiar significance in his mind; as if he had said, ‘Stand up for Jesus in the person of the downtrodden slave.' (Luke v. 18.)" Dr. Duffield gave it, in 1858, in manuscript to his Sunday School Superintendent, who published it on a small handbill for the children. In 1858 it was included in The Psalmist, in 6 stanzas of 8 lines. It was repeated in several collections and in Lyra Sac. Amer., 1868, from whence it passed, sometimes in an abbreviated form, into many English collections. [Rev. F. M.
