Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1159 (1886) First Line: O how I long to see that day Lyrics: 1 O how I long to see that day
When the redeemed shall come
To Zion, clad in white array
Their blissful, happy home.
Chorus:
O bear me on, bear me on
To Mount Zion;
Then bear me on to that city of love
Where saints will ever dwell.
2 I'll hear the alleluias roll
From the unnumbered throng,
And with a heaven-enraptured soul
I'll join redemption's song. [Chorus]
3 I'll see all Israel safe at home,
Singing on Zion's hight;
And Jesus crowned upon his throne,
Creation's Lord, by right. [Chorus]
4 All hail! the morn of glory's nigh
The pilgrim longs to see,
That dries the tear from every eye
Creation's jubilee. [Chorus]
5 Jerusalem I long to see,
Blest city of my King;
And eat the fruit of life's fair tree,
And hear the blood-washed sing. [Chorus]
6 My longing heart cries out, O, come!
Creation groans for thee!
The weary pilgrim sighs, O, come!
Bring immortality. [Chorus] Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Tune Title: [O how I long to see that day]
O bear me on, bear me on
