'Twas a doleful night on Calvary's hight

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1152 (1886) Lyrics: 1 'Twas a doleful night on Calvary's hight, When the Lamb of God was slain; But hope's cheering ray shone bright o'er the day When he rose from the tomb again. O Jesus, my Saviour! dear Saviour, come! Our hearts weary grow of thy long delay; O hasten to gather us home. 2 I go, he said, to prepare a place, Blest mansions in glory's domain; And the promise sure, sweetly fell from his lips, "For you I'll return again." 3 How long, O Lord, shall we watch and weep For the rightful heir to reign? And the myriad saints in silence sleep, Who wait thy return regain? 4 See the signs fulfilled of his advent near! Soon he comes in his kingdom to reign! Not long will the wheels of his chariot stay, That brings his return again. 5 The soul once bowed 'neath its burden of woe Shall rejoice o'er the flowery plain, And a dazzling crown deck the careworn brow, When the King in his beauty shall reign!
