O'er the Distant Mountains Breaking

Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 113 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O’er the distant mountains breaking Comes the redd'ning dawn of day. Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking; Rise and sing and watch and pray. ’Tis thy Savior, 'Tis thy Savior, On His bright returning way. 2 O Thou Long-expected, weary Waits my anxious soul for Thee; Life is dark, and earth is dreary, When Thy light I do not see. O my Savior, O my Savior, When wilt Thou return to me? 3 Nearer is my soul’s salvation; Spent the night, the day at hand. Keep me in my lowly station, Watching for Thee till I stand, O my Savior, O my Savior, In Thy bright, Thy promised land. 4 With my lamp well trimmed and burning, Swift to hear and slow to roam, Watching for Thy glad returning To restore me to my home. Come, my Savior, Come, my Savior, O my Savior, quickly come. Amen. Topics: The Last Things Judgment Scripture: Matthew 24:42 Used With Tune: O JERUSALEM, DU SCHÖNE

Author: William Gadsby 1773-1844 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what matchless condescension the eternal God displays, claiming our supreme attention to his boundless works and ways; his own glory, his own glory he reveals in gospel days. 2 In the person of the Saviour all his majesty is seen, love and justice shine for ever; and without a veil between we approach him, we approach him and rejoice in his dear name. 3 Would we view his brightest glory? Here it shines in Jesus’ face; sing and tell the amazing story, all you sinners saved by grace: call the guilty, call the guilty this great Saviour to embrace. 4 In his highest work, redemption, see his glory in a blaze; nor can angels ever mention that which more of God displays. Grace and justice, grace and justice here unite to endless days. 5 O what sweet and solemn pleasure, God to view in Christ the Lord: here he smiles, and smiles for ever; may my soul his name record, praise and bless him, praise and bless him and his wonders spread abroad.
