Time, thou speedest on but slowly
Author: Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #849 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Time, thou speedest on but slowly;
Hours, how tardy is your pace!
Ere with him, the high and holy,
I hold converse face to face.
Here is naught but care and mourning
Comes a joy, it will not stay;
Fairly shines the sun at dawning,
Night will soon o'ercloud the day.
2 Onward then! not long I wander
Ere my Saviour comes for me,
And with him abiding yonder,
All his glory I shall see.
O, the music and the singing
Of the hosts redeemed by love!
O, the hallelujahs ringing
Through the halls of light above! Tune Title: ONWARD
Time, thou speedest on but slowly
Father, lead me day by day

Father, lead me day by day
Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #850 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death,
Come, and by thyself revealing,
Dissipate the clouds beneath.
Thou, new heaven and earth's Creator,
In our deepest darkness rise;
Scattering all the night of nature,
Pouring day up-on our eyes.
2 Still we wait for thy appearing;
Life and joy thy beams impart,
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Every poor benighted heart.
Come, extend thy wonted favor
To our ruined, guilty race;
Come, thou blest, exalted Saviour!
Come, apply thy saving grace.
3 By thine all-atoning merit
Every burdened soul release;
By the teachings of thy Spirit
Guide us into perfect peace;
So shall we, at thine appearing,
Wait thy smiling face to see;
So, the joyful summons hearing,
Enter into rest with thee. Tune Title: LOVE DIVINE
Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Looking upward every day

Lift your heads, the day is breaking

Downeth brighter than to-day,
Angel hands with lift the shadows,
Chase the gathering gloom away.
Chorus:
Lift your heads, the day is breaking
Soon the morning will appear;
Signs proclaim the Lord is coming;
Lift your heads; the day draws near.
2 Art thou lonely, sad, and weary,
Watching through the silent night?
Dry thy tears, the orient glistens
Like a thread of silver light. [Chorus]

Cause men's hearts to fail with fear?

Christ will for his saints appear. [Chorus] Tune Title: GOOD CHEER

To hail that glad day!
2 And when that bright morning
In splendor shall dawn,
Our tears will be ended,
Our sorrows all gone. [Chorus]
3 The Bridegroom from glory
To earth shall descend,
Ten thousand bright angels
Around him attend. [Chorus]
4 The graves will be opened,
The saints will arise,
And with the Redeemer
Mount up to the skies. [Chorus]
5 The saints, then immortal,
In glory shall reign;
The Bride with the Bridegroom
Forever remain. [Chorus]

Watchmen on the walls of Zion
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #854 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Watchmen on the walls of Zion,
What, O tell us, of the night?
Is the day-star now arising?
Will the morn soon greet our sight?
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 heavenly 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.
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. Tune Title: ZION
Watchmen on the walls of Zion
Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #855 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus,
Partners in his patience here;
Christ, to all believers precious,
Lord of lords shall soon appear.
Mark the tokens
Of his heavenly kingdom near.
2 Yes, the prize shall soon be given;
We his open face shall see;
Love, the earnest of our heaven,
Love our full reward shall be;
Love shall crown us
Kings through all eternity. Tune Title: ZION
Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus
O'er the distant mountain breaking
Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #856 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 O'er the distant mountain breaking,
Comes the reddening dawn of day;
Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking,
Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray;
'Tis the Saviour
On his bright returning way.
2 O thou long-expected, weary
Waits my anxious soul for thee;
Life is dark and earth is dreary
Where thy light I do not see:
O my Saviour,
When wilt thou return to me?
3 Long, too long, in sin and sadness,
Far away from thee I pine;
When, O when, shall I the gladness
Of thy Spirit feel in mine?
O my Saviour,
When shall I be wholly thine?
4 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 Saviour,
In thy bright and promised land.
5 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 Saviour,
O my Saviour, quickly come! Tune Title: ZION
O'er the distant mountain breaking
On the mountain's top appearing
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #857 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing,
Lo! the sacred herald stands,
Welcome news to Zion bearing
Zion long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive! Mourning captive!
God himself shall loose thy bands.
2 Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful?
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well beloved.
3 God, thy God, will now restore thee;
He himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end:
Great deliverance
Zion's King will surely send. Tune Title: TAMWORTH
On the mountain's top appearing
