Son of God, thy people's shield

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #829 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Son of God, thy people's shield, Must we still thine absence mourn? Let thy promise be fulfilled; Thou hast said, "I will return." Gracious Master, soon appear Quickly bring thy morning's light; Then will cease the constant tear, Hope be turned to joyful sight. 2 As a woman counts the days Till her absent lord she sees, Longs and watches, weeps and prays, So the church must long for thee. Come, that we may see thee nigh; Then the sheep shall feed in peace; Hushed forever trouble's sigh, Sin and sorrow's triumph cease. Tune Title: WATCHMAN

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.

Yes, yes, O yes, Jesus is near to proclaim. 6 Still, still, rest on the promise, Cling, cling, fast to his word; Wait, wait, if he should tarry, Patiently wait for the Lord. Yes, yes, O yes, Patiently wait for the Lord. Tune Title: GLAD TIDINGS

Home, home, home, home, There will the wanderers rest. 4 Home, home, bliss to the parted; Friends, friends, meet on its shore; Here, here, lonely they've left us; Soon we'll be parted no more: Home, home, home, home, Friends will be parted no more. 5 Home, home, let us now hasten, See, see, angels above! Hark! hark! now do they call us, Home to their dwelling of love: Home, home, home, home, Home of our Father's kind love. Tune Title: GLAD TIDINGS

How long, O Lord our Saviour

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #833 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work 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 slumbering 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. Tune Title: WEBB

The world is very evil

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #834 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil, The times are waxing late; Be sober and keep vigil; The Judge is at the gate, The Judge who comes in mercy, The Judge who comes with might, Who comes to end the evil, Who comes to crown the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heavenly gladness lead, To light that has no evening, That knows no moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one. 3 Behold the morn shall waken, And shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as does the day; And God, our King and Portion, In fullness of his grace, Shall we behold forever, And worship face to face.

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.

Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Author: Robert Seagrave Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #837 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Toward heaven, thy native place. Sun, and moon, and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So a soul that's born of God, Pants to view his glorious face; Upward tends to his abode, To rest in his embrace. 3 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn! Press onward to the prize; Soon thy Saviour will return To take thee to the skies: There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest in heaven; There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given.
