Watchman, tell us of the night

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #828 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are, Traveler, o'er yon mountain's hight See that glory beaming star! Watchman, does its beauteous ray Aught of hope or joy fore-tell? Traveler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends. Traveler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends! Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler, ages are its own, See, it shines o'er all the earth! 3 Watchman, tell us of the night; For the morning seems to dawn. Traveler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let thy wondering cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home! Traveler, lo! the Prince of peace, Lo! the Son of God is come! Tune Title: WATCHMAN

Let thy promise be fulfilled; Thou hast said, "I will return."

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

Long, long, here we have wandered, Burdened with sorrow and care: Home, home, home, home, Sorrow breathes not in its air. 2 Home, home, there in thy bowers, Sweet, sweet music shall swell; Sin, sin, never can enter Peace in each bosom shall dwell: Home, home, home, home, Peace in each bosom shall dwell. 3 Home, home, rest to the weary, Peace, peace, to the torn breast; Hope, hope, hope of the erring; There in thy bosom we'll rest! 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.

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. Tune Title: AMSTERDAM

Ye who rose to meet the Lord

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

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
