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
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
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
Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear
Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #852 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: Let every lamp be burning bright Lyrics: 1 Let every lamp be burning bright,
The darkest hour is nearing;
The darkest hour of earth's long night,
Before the Lord's appearing.
Chorus:
Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear,
Then trim your lamps with godly fear;
The Master's scorning draweth near,
Let every lamp be nearing.
2 Though thousands calmly slumber on,
The last great message spurning,
We'll rest our living faith upon
His promise of returning. [Chorus]
3 His word our lamp, his truth our guide,
We cannot be mistaken;
Though dangers rise on every side.
We shall not be forsaken. [Chorus]
4 Then let good works with faith appear,
To shame the world around us;
Obedience brings the blessing near
When faith has firmly bound us. [Chorus] Tune Title: DILIGENCE
Then trim your lamps, my brethren dear
While the mighty, mighty, mighty trump
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #853 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work First Line: The last lovely morning Lyrics: 1 The last lovely morning,
All blooming and fair,
Is fast onward fleeting,
And soon will appear;
Chorus:
While the mighty, mighty, mighty trump
Sounds, "Come, come away!"
O, let us be ready
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]
Tune Title: LAST LOVELY MORNING
While the mighty, mighty, mighty trump
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
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
Yes, we trust the day is breaking
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #860 (1886) Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Yes, we trust the day is breaking;
Joyful times are near at hand:
God, the mighty God, is speaking
By his word in every land;
When he comes his lost ones seeking,
Darkness flees at his command.
2 Let us hail the joyful season,
Let us hail the rising ray;
When the Lord appears, there's reason
To expect a glorious day;
At the brightness of his coming
Gloom and darkness flee away.
3 While the foe becomes more daring,
While he enters like a flood,
God the Saviour is preparing
Means to spread his light abroad;
Every tongue and every language
Soon shall hear the truth of God.
4 O how pleasant, how reviving
To our hearts, to hear each day
Joyful news from far arriving,
That the message wins its way;
Those enlightening and enlivening
Who in death and darkness lay!
5 God of Israel, high and glorious,
Let thy people see thy hand;
Let the message be victorious
Through the world, in every land:
Come, Lord Jesus, O come quickly,
And thy blessing now command. Tune Title: BAVARIA
Yes, we trust the day is breaking
