Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning

Author: Anon. Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Pilgrims, on! the day is dawning; Strike your tents, and homeward haste: Sleep not while the blush of morning Calls you on the desert waste, Though the way is dark and dreary, Life's sharp anguish must be borne; Courage, then, ye faint and weary, Linger not to weep and morn. 2 Pilgrims, on! the storm is beating, Beating wildly on your way: Tarry not, the time is fleeting; Shall the storm your footsteps stay? Hasten on, through joy and sorrow, Or whatever may betide, Wait not for the calm to-morrow, Faithful at your work abide. 3 Pilgrims, on! what though in dangers, Life's eventful course pursue; Labor on, ye friendless strangers, Grace will guide you safely through. What if trials must befall you! What if fierce temptations rise! Shall earth's bitter strife appall you While contending for the prize? 4 Pilgrims, on! there's rest in heaven, Rest from every anxious care, Rest in Jesus' smiles, forgiven, Peaceful and eternal there. O, 'twere sweet to toil in sadness, O, 'twere well the cross to bear, If, at last in joy and gladness, We may rest forever there! Used With Tune: ONWARD

And the King in his beauty adore. 2 He comes, and the Spirit that lingers below, In the hearts of the chosen and tried. Is quickened, and tells in its mystical flow, The approach of the Bridegroom and Bride. 3 The love and the joy and the peace of the blest, Like the day-star, arise in the soul, And we taste the first-fruits of the Eden of rest, And we hasten to enter the goal.

Hope of our hearts, O Lord, appear

Author: Edward Denny Appears in 49 hymnals 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? Used With Tune: CANAAN

Jesus died on Calvary's mountain

Author: Anon. Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Lyrics: 1 Jesus died on Calvary's mountain Long time ago, And salvation's rolling fountain Now freely flows. 2 Once his voice, in tones of pity, Melted in woe, As he wept o'er Judah's city, Long time ago. 3 Jesus died, yet lives forever, No more to die, Bleeding Jesus, blessed Saviour, Now reigns on high. 4 Now in heaven he's interceding For dying men; Soon he'll finish all his pleading, And come again. 5 Budding fig-trees tell that summer Dawns o'er the land; Signs portend that Jesus' coming Is near at hand. 6 Children, let your lamps be burning, In hope of heaven, Waiting for our Lord's returning At dawn or even. 7 When he comes, a voice from heaven Shall pierce the tomb: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, Children, come home."
