The Saviour bids us watch and pray
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #801 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The Saviour bids us watch and pray
Through time's brief, fleeting hour,
And gives the Spirit's quickening ray
To those who seek its power.
2 The Saviour bids us watch and pray,
Maintain a warrior's strife;
Help, Lord, to hear thy voice to-day;
Obedience is our life.
3 The Saviour bids us watch and pray;
For quickly he will come,
To call us from our toils away
To our eternal home.
4 The Saviour bids us watch and pray;
For lo! the Judge is near;
O may we joyfully obey,
And watch till he appear!
Tune Title: ABRIDGE
The Saviour bids us watch and pray
We'll work till Jesus comes
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #805 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: Let others seek a home below Lyrics: 1 Let others seek a home below,
We'll be gathered home;
Which flames devour or waves o'erthrow,
We'll be gathered there.
Chorus:
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
We'll work till Jesus comes,
And we'll be gathered home.
2 Be mine the happier lot to own,
We'll be gathered home;
A heavenly mansion near the throne,
We'll be gathered home. [Chorus]
3 Then, fail this earth, let stars decline,
We'll be gathered home;
And sun and moon refuse to shine,
We'll be gathered home. [Chorus]
4 Though desolation here may be,
We'll be gathered home;
That heavenly mansion stands for me,
We'll be gathered home. [Chorus] Tune Title: LAND OF REST
We'll work till Jesus comes
What though the angry waves roll high
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #809 (1886) 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.
Tune Title: PERSEVERANCE
What though the angry waves roll high
A few more years shall roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #817 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall meet the loved who now
Are sleeping in the tomb:
Then, O may Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that calm day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
3 A few more struggles here,
A few more partings sore,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
4 'Tis but a little while,
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we may with him reign:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away! Tune Title: BONAR
A few more years shall roll
Come, Desire of nations, come!
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #826 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Come, Desire of nations, come!
Hasten, Lord, the general doom!
With thy holy train descend;
Then our earthly trials end.
2 Mindful of thy chosen race,
Shorten these vindictive days;
We for full redemption groan;
Hear us now, and save thine own.
3 Now destroy the man of sin;
Now thine ancient flock bring in!
Filled with righteousness divine,
Claim a ransomed world for thine.
4 Plant thy heavenly kingdom here;
Glorious in thy saints appear;
Speak the sacred number sealed;
Speak the mystery revealed.
5 Take to thee thy royal power;
Reign, when sin shall be no more;
Reign, when death no more shall be;
Reign to all eternity. Tune Title: LUBECK
Come, Desire of nations, come!
Brother pilgrim, be not weary
Author: L. D. Santee Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #830 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Brother pilgrim, be not weary;
Tune your harp for heaven and home,
Where the heart is never dreary,
And where tears shall never come:
Don your armor, be not sleeping;
One short hour, and 'twill be past;
One brief hour of toil and weeping,
Then comes heaven and home at last.
2 Let your eyes to heaven be turning,
Darkened sun and falling stars,
See the crimson heavens burning,
Earth prepared for final wars;
Hear the scoffer ask with jeering,
"Where's the sign that he is nigh?"
Turn your eyes with joy and fearing
To the omens in the sky.
3 Signs in nature oft have told us
Of the saints' glad jubilee;
Soon shall azure skies enfold us,
And upon the jasper sea
We shall stand in robes of whiteness,
Praising him upon the throne,
And in heaven's eternal brightness
We shall know as we are known.
Tune Title: WATCHMAN
Brother pilgrim, be not weary
O for the robes of whiteness!
Author: C. L. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #835 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O for the robes of whiteness!
O for the tearless eyes!
O for the glorious brightness
Of the unclouded skies!
O for the no more weeping,
Within that land of love,
The endless joy of keeping
The bridal feast above!
2 O for the bliss of flying,
My risen Lord to meet!
O for the rest of lying
Forever at his feet!
O for the hour of seeing
My Saviour face to face!
The hope of ever being
In that sweet meeting-place!
3 Jesus, thou King of Glory,
I soon shall dwell with thee;
I soon shall sing the story
Of thy great love to me:
Meanwhile, my thoughts shall enter
E'en now before thy throne,
That all my love may center
In thee, and thee alone. Tune Title: WEBB
O for the robes of whiteness!
We are living, we are dwelling
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #847 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time;
In an age on ages telling
To be living is sublime.
Hark! the waking up of nations,
Gog and Magog to the fray;
Hark! what soundeth? Is creation
Groaning for her latter day?
2 Christian, rouse and arm for conflict,
Nerve thee for the battle-field;
Bear the helmet of salvation,
And the mighty gospel shield;
Let the breastplate, peace, be on thee,
Take the Spirit's sword in hand;
Boldly, fearlessly, go forth then,
In Jehovah's strength to stand.
3 Wicked spirits gather round thee,
Legions of those foes to God
Principalities most mighty
Walk unseen the earth abroad;
They are gathering to the battle,
Strengthened for the last deep strife;
Christian, arm! be watchful, ready,
Struggle manfully for life.
4 And the prince of evil spirits,
Great deceiver of the world!
He who at the blessed Jesus
Once his deadly weapons hurled,
Cometh with unwonted power,
Knowing that his reign will cease
When the kingdom shall be given
To the mighty Prince of peace.
5 Christian, rouse! fight in this warfare,
Cease not till the victory's won;
Till your Captain loud proclaimeth,
"Servant of the Lord, well done!"
He, alone, who thus is faithful,
Who abideth to the end,
Hath the promise, in the kingdom
An eternity to spend.
Tune Title: THE ALARM
We are living, we are dwelling
Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee
Author: John F. Rusling Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #862 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee,
And all the midnight shadows flee;
Tinged are the distant skies with glory,
A beacon light hangs out for thee.
Arise, arise, the light breaks o'er thee,
Thy name is grave on the throne;
Thy home is in that world of glory
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone.
2 Tossed on time's rude, relentless surges,
Calmly composed and dauntless, stand;
For lo, beyond those scenes emerges
The hights that bound the promised land.
Christian, behold, the land is nearing,
Where the wild sea-storm's rage is o'er;
Hark, how the heavenly hosts are cheering!
See in what throngs they range the shore.
3 Cheer up, cheer up, the day breaks o'er thee,
Bright as the summer's noon-tide ray;
The star-gemmed crowns and realms of glory
Invite thy happy soul away.
Away, away, leave all for glory,
Thy name is graven on the throne,
Thy home is in that world of beauty
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone. Tune Title: MORNING LIGHT
Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee
Day of redemption! when shall we behold
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #863 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Day of redemption! when shall we behold
Earth overwhelmed with thy splendor untold?
Dark is this desert, and weary our road;
O for the day-spring that cometh from God!
Deep are earth's shadows, its sorrows and gloom;
Oft is its gladness laid low in the tomb:
Joy and rejoicing like shadows depart,
Grief and affliction abide in the heart.
2 Many the sorrows this sad earth has known;
Hopes have been withered, and hearts have been torn;
Tears have been gushing from fountains of grief;
O for that morning which brings us relief!
Ah, we have tasted of blessings to come;
On we have hasted to gain them at home;
There, in the light of eternity's morn,
Glad shall the saints sing the conquerors' song. Tune Title: MORNING LIGHT
Day of redemption! when shall we behold
