O how I long with Christ to be

Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O how I long with Christ to be, And in his presence rest! He draws my soul most wondrously; I to his bosom haste. 2 Me for thy coming, Lord, prepare; Grant I may ready be Whene'er thou comest, without fear To meet and welcome thee. 3 Meanwhile may I in spirit view Thy sufferings, cross, and death; These to my heart be daily new, While thou shalt give me breath. 4 Thus will my wants be well supplied, Thus will my soul with grace Abundantly be satisfied, And kept in heavenly peace.

Jesus soon is coming

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: Long for my Saviour I've been waiting Lyrics: 1 Long for my Saviour I've been waiting, Long time have watched by night and day; Feared, lest my faith and hope abating, I should lose courage by the way.

[Chorus] 3 Ofttimes the tempter comes in power, Fain then would lead my steps astray; But when the clouds begin to lower, Hope turns the darkness into day.

Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Fear not, little flock 'tis your Father's good pleasure To give you the glorious kingdom above; To grant you the precious and eternal treasure Of life everlasting, a gift of his love. 2 No more shall ye suffer for Christ, tribulation. No more shall ye rudely be scattered and torn; Your trials and sorrows, your fears and temptations, Will shortly be over; no more shall ye mourn. 3 Earth has not the bliss which in heaven is offered, And knows not the joys that await all the blest; The saints are the heirs to the kingdom that's proffered, The kingdom of righteousness, kingdom of rest. 4 Then fear not, ye flock, for your Shepherd, returning, Shall gather his sheep in his heavenly fold; Shall lead you in pastures for which ye are yearning, And shelter you safe in the city of gold.

There is a King of glory

Author: Anon. Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 There is a King of glory, Ere long on earth to rise, Sung in prophetic story, Descending from the skies; The Babe of Bethlehem 'tis he; It is the man of Calvary, Not crowned with thorns, and gory, But crowned with glory now! Not crowned with thorns to-day, Not mocked and led away, But crowned with everlasting glory now! 2 He cometh, cometh speedy, To save his suffering saints, Saints groaning, waiting, ready, And endeth their complaints; With joy they meet him in the air, And shout the swelling triumph there; No longer poor and needy, But crowned with glory now! Not one's reviled to-day! None stumble in the way All crowned with everlasting glory now. 3 O tears, and sin, and sighing, Now let your prisoner go, Discharged from pain and dying And from a world of woe; I go to Christ, he comes to me, We meet in bright eternity, On clouds he cometh flying, On clouds of glory now! Victorious in his wars, Full many a palm he bears, And crowns of everlasting glory now! 4 O, what is tribulation, And all the ills I bear, Compared with this salvation, And all the glory there? Behold a city fair and high, Bright capital of earth and sky, The joy of all creation, And filled with glory now! The armies of his grace, Triumphant reach the place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! 5 There every sight that pleases, There every sound that cheers, There sweet, immortal breezes, Inspire the balmy years; There all the just join in a band, From every age, from every land, While o'er them reigns King Jesus, With crowns of glory now! The people of his grace, Have reached the heavenly place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! Used With Tune: KING OF GLORY

What though the angry waves roll high

Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 What though the angry waves roll high, And darkness reigns around? Let hope be bright in every eye; Our ship is homeward bound. What though no moon nor stars appear Amid the gloom profound? We will not yield a place to fear; Our ship is homeward bound. 2 What though the lightnings glare above, And deafening thunders roar? Yet with the eye of faith and love We view the distant shore. We know that friends will meet us there, We loved in life before; And angel forms, all bright and fair, Line the immortal shore. 3 Then let the fearful thunders roar, And let the lightnings glare; We're nearing the eternal shore, And we are almost there. Then heave, ye waves, on every side, And onward, homeward bear Our fragile bark, 'gainst wind and tide; For we are almost there. 4 The coward peers, with trembling form, Into the gloom profound; But we can smile to view the storm; Our ship is homeward bound: And though for us, on time's dark wave No place of rest be found, O let our hearts be true and brave; Our ship is homeward bound.

Faith can almost hear Christ's footfall On the threshold of the door, And my heart, my heart is longing To be with Him evermore.

Author: R. F. Cottrell Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O lift up your heads! your redemption draws near! Let nothing discourage, or cause you to fear; Our Saviour is faithful, his promise is sure To all who hear trials, hold fast, and endure. 2 Well may you have courage, your cause is the Lord's, Attested by signs, and with Scripture accords; And though all the powers of the dragon assail, The truth, being mighty, will surely prevail. 3 Hold fast that rich treasure, nor e'er lay it down; Endure to the end and let none take thy crown; The spirits of darkness will seek to devour, But Jesus and angels excel them in power. 4 Rich promise to all who shall now overcome! To be a firm pillar in God's sacred dome, Inscribed with his name, and the Son of his love, And that of the city which comes from above. Used With Tune: GOSHEN
