How Long?

Author: Sarah Doudney Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 14:7 First Line: The weary hours like shadows come and go Lyrics: 1 The weary hours like shadows come and go, As still I strive, by earnest faith and pray’r, To do each day the duties that I know, And bear the cross my Saviour bids me bear. 2 But are there many weary miles to tread Before the promised home appears in sight? And are there sad and bitter tears to shed Ere we shall meet in realms of endless light? 3 Some little joy I have in doing still The humble work He bids me do for Him; A tender gladness when ‘tis mine to fill Again some empty chalice to the brim. 4 And thus the days are slowly passing here, With distant gleams of hope and glory blest; But is the hallowed moment drawing near When we shall meet again in endless rest? 5 Ah, yes, when that great light which men call Death Strikes thro’ the gloom and stills at last the strife, Then come a hush, a sigh, a fleeting breath, And we shall meet again in endless life.

Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 14:9 Lyrics: 1 Let saints below in concert sing With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King In earth and heaven are one. 2 One family--we dwell with him-- One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death: 3 One army of the living God, To his command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home Some happy spirits fly; And we are to the margin come, And soon expect to die. 5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the ransomed blessed bands Upon th' eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide; And, when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven.
