What of the Night?

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #705 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: Watchman on the walls of Zion Lyrics: 1 Watchman on the walls of Zion, What, O tell us, of the night? Is the day star now arising? Will the morn soon greet our night? O'er your vision Shine there now some rays of light? O'er your vision Shine there now some rays of light? 2 Tell, O tell us, are the landmarks On our voyage all passed by? Are we nearing now the haven? Can we e'en the land descry? Do we truly See the heav'nly kingdom nigh? Do we truly See the heav'nly kingdom nigh? 3 Light is beaming, day is coming! Let us sound aloud the cry; We behold the day star rising, Pure and bright in yonder sky! Saints, be joyful; Your redemption draweth nigh. Saints, be joyful; Your redemption draweth nigh. 4 We have found the chart and compass, And are sure the land is near; Onward, onward we are hasting, Soon the haven will appear; Let your voices Sound aloud your holy cheer. Let your voices Sound aloud your holy cheer. Languages: English Tune Title: ZION

Lo! He comes, with clouds descending

Hymnal: Christ in Song #708 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes, with clouds descending, Once for favor'd sinners slain; Countless angels, him attending, Swell the triumph of his train: Hallelujah! Jesus comes and comes to reign. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him Robed in dreadful majesty! Those who set at naught and sold him, Pierced, and nailed him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Yea, amen! let all adore thee, High on thy eternal throne! Saviour, take the power and glory, Make thy righteous sentence known: O come quickly, Claim the kingdom for thine own. Languages: English

Watchful at His Gate

Gird up your loins as in his sight; His coming thus proclaim. 3 Watch, 'tis your Lord's command, And while we speak, he's near; Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear. Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear. 4 O, happy servant he, In such a posture found! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crown'd. He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crown'd. Languages: English Tune Title: EL KADER

How Long?

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #716 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ First Line: How long, O Lord our Saviour Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord our Saviour, Wilt thou remain away? Our hearts are growing weary Of thy so long delay. O when shall come the moment, When, brighter far than morn, The sunshine of thy glory Shall on thy people dawn? 2 How long, O gracious Master, Wilt thou thy household leave? So long hast thou now tarried, Few thy return believe. Immersed in sloth and folly, Thy servants, Lord, we see; And few of us stand ready With joy to welcome thee. 3 O, wake thy slumb'ring people; Send forth the solemn cry; Let all the saints repeat it, "The Saviour draweth nigh!" May all our lamps be burning, Our loins well girded be, Each longing heart preparing With joy thy face to see. Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB

Speak often to each other

Hymnal: Christ in Song #717 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home Lyrics: 1 Speak often to each other, To cheer the fainting mind; And often be your voices In pure devotion joined; Though trials may await you, The crown before you lies; Take courage, brother pilgrim, And soon you'll win the prize. 2 Ye shall be mine, says Jesus, In that auspicious day When I make up my jewels, Released from cumb'rous clay; He'll polish and refine you From worthless dross and sin, And to his heavenly kingdom Will bid you enter in. 3 We'll range the wide dominion Of our Redeemer round, And in dissolving raptures Be lost in love profound; While all the flaming harpers Begin the lasting song, With hallelujahs rolling From the unnumbered throng.

O God, You Gave Your Servant John

Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #718 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: A New Heaven and A New Earth Completion of Creation and City of God; Biblical Characters John; Church Triumphant; City/City of God; Eternal Life; Funerals and Memorial Services; Glory; God House, Home; Heaven(s)/Paradise; Hunger; Pain; Peace (World); Poverty; Vision/Dream; World; Youth; All Saints Year B Lyrics: 1 O Lord, you gave your servant John a vision of the world to come: a radiant city filled with light, where you with us will make your home; where neither grief nor pain shall dwell, since former things have passed away, and where they need no sun nor moon; your glory lights eternal day. 2 Our cities wear great shrouds of pain; beneath our gleaming towers of wealth the homeless crouch in rain and snow, the poor cry out for strength and health. Youth’s hope is dimmed by ignorance; unwilling, workers idled stand; indifference walks unheeding by as hunger stretches out its hand. 3 Come, Lord, make real John’s vision fair; come, dwell with us, make all things new; we try in vain to save our world unless our help shall come from you. Come, strengthen us to live in love; bid hatred, greed, injustice cease. Your glory all the light we need, let all our cities shine forth peace. Tune Title: CANDLER

Have the signs that marks His coming Yet upon thy pathway shone? Pilgrim, yes! arise, look round thee; Light is breaking in the skies; Gird thy bridal robes around thee, Morning dawns, arise! arise! 2 Watchman, see, the light is beaming Brighter still upon thy way, Signs thro' all the earth are gleaming, Omens of the coming day When the Jubal trumpet, sounding, Shall awake from land and sea All the saints of God, now sleeping, Clad in immortality. 3 Watchman, hail the light ascending Of the grand Sabbatic year; All with voices loud proclaiming That the kingdom now is near: Pilgrim, yes, I see just yonder, Canaan's glorious hights arise; Salem, too, appears in grandeur, Tow'ring 'neath its sunlit skies. 4 Watchman, in the golden city, Seated on his jasper throne, Zion's King, arrayed in beauty, Reigns in peace from zone to zone. There on sunlit hills and mountains, Golden beams serenely glow; Purling streams and crystal fountains, On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow. 5 Watchman, see, the land is nearing, With its vernal fruits and flow'rs; On, just yonder, O how cheering! Bloom forever Eden's bow'rs. Hark! the choral strains are ringing. Wafted on the balmy air; See the millions, hear them singing, Soon the pilgrim will be there.

Long upon the mountains, weary

Hymnal: Christ in Song #736 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Nearing Home Lyrics: 1 Long upon the mountains, weary. Have the scattered flock been torn; Dark the desert paths, and dreary; Grievous trials have they borne. Now the gath'ring call is sounding, Solemn in its warning voice; Union, faith, and love, abounding, Bid the little flock rejoice. 2 Now the light of truth they're seeking. In its onward track pursue; All the ten commandments keeping, They are holy, just, and true. On the words of life they're feeding, Precious to their taste, so sweet; All their Master's precepts heeding, Bowing humbly at his feet. 3 Soon He comes, with clouds descending; All his saints, entombed, arise; The redeemed, in anthems blending, Shout their vict'ry thro' the skies. O, we long for thine appearing! Come, O Saviour, quickly come! Blessed hope! our spirits cheering, Take thy ransomed children home. Languages: English

We're homeward bound, etc. 3 Into the harbor of heaven now we glide, We're home at last, home at last; Softly we drift on its bright silver tide, We're home at last, home at last. Glory to God! all our dangers are o'er, We stand secure on the glorified shore; Glory to God! we shall shout ever more; We're home at last, home at last.
