I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #864 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest In that promised land of the good and the blest. Where sin can no longer her blandishments spread, Where tears and temptations forever are fled? 2 I'm weary of sighing o'er sorrows of earth, O'er joy's glowing visions that fade at their birth, O'er pangs for the loved which we cannot assuage, O'er blightings of you and the weakness of age. 3 I'm weary of hoping, where hope is untrue, As fair but as fleeting as bright morning dew; I long for that land whose blest promise alone Is changeless, and sure as eternity's throne. 4 I'm weary of loving what passes away; The sweetest and dearest, alas! may not stay: I long for that land where these partings are o'er, And death and the tomb can divide us no more! 5 O Jesus, my Saviour, when shall I behold That morning long promised by prophets of old, When sin's night of sorrow forever is past, And death's silent captives are ransomed at last? Tune Title: GOSHEN

Heir of the Kingdom, O, why dost thou slumber?

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #866 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Heir of the kingdom, O why dost thou slumber? Why art thou sleeping so near thy blest home? Wake thee, arouse thee, and gird on thine armor, Speed, for the moments are hurrying on. 2 Heir of the kingdom, say, why dost thou linger? How canst thou tarry in sight of the prize? Up, and adorn thee, the Saviour is coming; Haste to receive him descending the skies. 3 Earth's mighty nations, in strife and commotion, Tremble with terror, and sink in dismay; Listen, 'tis naught but the chariot's loud rumbling; Heir of the kingdom, no longer delay. 4 Stay not, O stay not for earth's vain allurements! See how its glory is passing away; Break the strong fetters the foe hath bound o'er thee; Heir of the kingdom, turn, turn thee away. 5 Keep the eye single, the head upward lifted; Watch for the glory of earth's coming King; Lo! o'er the mountain-tops light is now breaking; Heirs of the kingdom, rejoice ye and sing. Tune Title: RODMAN

Hope of our hearts, O Lord, appear

Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #868 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Hope of our hearts, O Lord, appear, Thou glorious Star of day! Shine forth, and chase the dreary night, With all our tears, away. No resting-place we seek on earth, No loveliness we see; Our eye is on the royal crown, Prepared for us and thee. 2 Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart! Star of the coming day! Arise, and with thy morning beams Chase all our griefs away. Come, blessed Lord! let every shore And answering island sing The praises of thy royal name, And own thee as their King. 3 Jesus, thy fair creation groans The air, the earth, the sea In unison with all our hearts, And calls aloud for thee. Thine was the cross, with all its fruits Of grace and peace divine; Be thine the crown of glory now, The palm of victory thine. 4 But, dearest Lord, however bright That crown of joy above, What is it to the brighter hope Of dwelling in thy love? What to the joy, the deeper joy, Unmingled, pure, and free, Of union with our living Head, Of fellowship with thee? Tune Title: CANAAN

How long desired a crown to win! But still we have not reached the place Where we can say we're free from sin. 2 We patient pray, and gladly sing, "Thy perfect will, O Lord, be done!" Our Captain will the victory bring Which he for us has fairly won. 3 Our works as filthy rags appear, Except as humbly wrought in thee: Jesus, thy righteousness 'tis clear Our righteousness at last must be.

Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh

Author: Mrs. Rebekah Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #792 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Lone pilgrim, cease that mournful sigh: Look up! redemption draweth nigh. Have loved ones gone? does earth look drear? Look up! shed not that bitter tear. 2 What though the heart is saddened now, And shadows gather on thy brow, And grief the bosom heaveth still? Look up! submit to Heaven's own will. 3 Do trials unexpected rise? Look up! and view the glorious prize; Let not life's sorrows press you down; Look up! prepare to take the crown. 4 Lift up your head, rejoice and sing; Look up! by faith behold your King. He soon is coming, heed his call; Look up! and make your God your all. 5 He'll come, all troubles here to end; He'll come, a never-failing friend; He'll come to take his children home; Look up! and pray, "Lord, quickly come."

Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #794 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes, And raise your voices high; Awake, and praise that sovereign love That shows salvation nigh; Awake, and praise that sovereign love That shows salvation nigh. 2 Swift on the wings of time it flies; Each moment brings it near; Then welcome each declining day, Welcome each closing year. 3 Not many years their round shall run, Not many mornings rise, Ere all its glories stand revealed To our admiring eyes. 4 Ye wheels of nature, speed your course! Ye mortal powers, decay! Haste! till the last glad morning rise That brings eternal day. Tune Title: ZERAH

Avery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #796 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Hail, glorious day! ere long to dawn, And set death's captives free; Triumphant then will they come forth With shouts of victory. 2 And when my Saviour shall appear, If in the grave I lie, The last loud trumpet I shall hear, And live, no more to die. 3 It is enough, although I close In death my weary eyes, In that bright morn, my Lord to see, And meet him in the skies. 4 And in that resurrection morn I shall his face behold; 'Tis then my Lord to me will give The starry crown of gold.
