Ye who rose to meet the Lord
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #838 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Ye who rose to meet the Lord,
Ventured on his faithful word,
Faint not now, for your reward
Will be quickly given.
Faint not, always watch and pray;
Jesus will no more delay;
Even now 'tis dawn of day;
Day-star beams from heaven.
2 Would ye to the end endure?
Keep the wedding garment pure,
Claim ye still the promise sure,
Faithful is the Lord!
Let your lamps be burning bright;
In God's word is beaming light;
Live by faith, and not by sight
Crowns are your reward.
3 Mid the darts of angry foe,
Onward, fearless, onward go,
The good soldier's courage show,
On to victory!
Let thine eyes be turned to me,
Jesus says, "I'll rescue thee;
Overcome, and faithful be,
Thou shalt glory see!"
4 Tones of thunder through the sky,
Angel voices sounding high,
Echo still the mighty cry,
"Jesus, quickly come!"
Quickly he'll return again,
With his saints he'll come to reign,
While all heaven will shout, "Amen!
Welcome to thy throne!"
5 Marriage supper now prepared,
By the guests will then be shared,
In fair, righteous robes arrayed,
Like the Bridegroom King.
Glory to Jehovah's name!
Sound aloud the glad acclaim,
To the Lamb that once was slain,
Alleluias bring! Tune Title: CALEDONIA
Ye who rose to meet the Lord
I long to behold him arrayed
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #840 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 I long to behold him arrayed
With glory and light from above;
The King in his beauty displayed,
His beauty of holiest love:
I languish, and sigh to be there,
Where Jesus hath fixed his abode;
O, when shall we meet in the air,
And fly to the mountain of God?
2 With him, I on Zion shall stand,
For Jesus has spoken the word;
The breadth of Immanuel's land,
Survey, by the side of my Lord.
But when, on thy bosom reclined,
Thy face I am strengthened to see,
My fullness of rapture I find,
My heaven of heavens, in thee.
3 How happy the people whose home
Is found in the city of God!
As pilgrims no more they shall roam,
Nor travel a dangerous road.
Physician divine, unto me
Thy soul-healing blessing now give,
And keep me while waiting for thee,
And then to that city receive. Tune Title: CONTRAST
I long to behold him arrayed
Away with our sorrow and fear!
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #841 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Away with our sorrow and fear!
We soon shall recover our home;
The city of saints shall appear,
The day of eternity come.
From earth we shall quickly remove,
And mount to our promised abode,
The house of our Father above,
The palace of angels and God.
2 By faith we already behold
That lovely Jerusalem here;
Her walls are of jasper and gold,
As crystal her buildings are clear.
Immovably founded in grace,
She stands as she ever has stood;
And soon, at the end of our race,
We'll rest in that city of God. Tune Title: CONTRAST
Away with our sorrow and fear!
Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Author: Sydney S. Brewer Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #842 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Of fair Zion's glory dawn?
Have the signs that mark its 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 through all the earth are gleaming,
Omens of the coming day
When the Jubal trumpet, sound,
Shall awake from earth 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,
Towering '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 flowers;
On, just yonder, O how cheering!
Bloom forever Eden's bowers.
Hark! the choral strains are ringing,
Wafted on the balmy air,
See the millions, hear them singing,
Soon the pilgrim will be there. Tune Title: DAWNING
Watchman, tell me, does the morning
Gracious Father, guard thy children
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #843 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Gracious Father, guard thy children
From the foe's destructive power;
Save, O save them, Lord from falling
In this dark and trying hour.
Thou wilt surely prove thy people,
All our graces must be tried;
But thy word illumes our pathway,
And in God we still confide.
2 We are in the time of waiting;
Soon we shall behold our Lord,
Wafted far away from sorrow,
To receive our rich reward.
Keep us, Lord, till thine appearing,
Pure, unspotted from the world;
Let thy Holy Spirit cheer us
Till thy banner is unfurled.
3 With what joyful exultation
Shall the saints thy banner see,
When the Lord for whom we've waited
Shall proclaim the Jubilee!
Freedom from this world's pollutions;
Freedom from all sin and pain;
Freedom from the wiles of Satan,
And from death's destructive reign. Tune Title: DAWNING
Gracious Father, guard thy children
God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Hymnal: Gather (3rd ed.) #843 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Daily Life and Work Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 Languages: English Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH
God Is Here! As We His People
Long upon the mountains, weary
Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #844 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work 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 gathering 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 In that world of light and beauty,
In that golden city fair,
Soon its pearly gates they'll enter,
And of all its glories share.
There, divine the soul's expansions;
Free from sin, and death, and pain;
Tears will never dim those mansions
Where the saints immortal reign.
4 Soon He comes! with clouds descending;
All his saints, entombed, arise;
The redeemed, in anthems blending,
Shout their victory through the skies.
O, we long for thine appearing;
Come, O Saviour, quickly come!
Blessed hope! our spirits cheering,
Take my ransomed children home. Tune Title: GREENVILLE
Long upon the mountains, weary
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #845 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee;
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the saints thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
2 Born, thy people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king;
Born to reign o'er us forever;
Now thy precious kingdom bring:
By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne. Tune Title: GREENVILLE
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
This is not my place of resting
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #846 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 This is not my place of resting;
Mine's a city yet to come;
Onward, to it, I am hastening,
On to my eternal home.
In it, all is light and glory;
O'er it shines a nightless day;
Every trace of sin's sad story,
All the curse has passed away.
2 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
By the streams of life along;
On the freshest pastures feeds us,
Turns our sighing into song.
Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Nevermore are sad and weary,
Never, never sin again. Tune Title: GREENVILLE
This is not my place of resting
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
