I long to behold him arrayed

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 127 hymnals 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.

We are living, we are dwelling

Author: Anon. Appears in 205 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: THE ALARM
