Waiting and watching

Author: S. M. H. Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:35-37 First Line: We know not the time when he cometh Lyrics: 1 We know not the time when he cometh, At even, or midnight, or morn; It may be at deepening twilight, It may be at earliest dawn. He bids us to watch and be ready, Nor suffer our lights to grow dim; That when he shall come, he may find us All waiting and watching for him. Chorus: Waiting and watching, Waiting and watching; Waiting and watching, Still waiting and watching for thee. 2 I think of his wonderful pity, The price our salvation hath cost; He left the bright mansions of glory To suffer and die for the lost. And sometimes I think it will please him, When those whom he died to redeem Rejoice in the hope of his coming By waiting and watching for him. [Chorus] 3 O Jesus, my loving Redeemer, Thou knowest I cherish as dear The hope that mine eyes shall behold thee, That I shall thine own welcome hear! If to some as a Judge thou appearest, Who forth from thy presence would flee, A Friend most beloved I'll greet thee, I'm waiting and watching for thee. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Judgment and Second Advent Used With Tune: WAITING AND WATCHING

How Lovely, Lord (Psalm 84)

Author: Arlo D. Duba Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32-34 First Line: How lovely, Lord, how lovely Lyrics: 1 How lovely, Lord, how lovely is your abiding place; my soul is longing, fainting, to feast upon your grace. The sparrow finds a shelter, a place to build her nest; and so your temple calls us within its walls to rest. 2 In your blest courts to worship, O God, a single day is better than a thousand if I from you should stray. I'd rather keep the entrance and claim you as my Lord than revel in the riches the ways of sin afford. 3 A sun and shield forever are you, O Lord Most High; you shower us with blessings; no good will you deny. The saints, your grace receiving, from strength to strength shall go, and from their life shall rivers of blessing overflow. Topics: The Church; Gathering; Grâce Used With Tune: MERLE’S TUNE

Sleepers, Wake

The shout of rampart guards surrounds us: “Awake, Jerusalem, arise!” Midnight’s peace their cry has broken, their urgent summons clearly spoken: “The time has come, O maidens wise! Rise up, and give us light. The Bridegroom is in sight. Alleluia! Your lamps prepare and hasten there, that you the wedding feast may share.” 2 When we hear the heralds singing, and in our hearts new joy is springing; we wake, and rise up from our gloom; for our Friend comes down all-glorious, the strong in grace, in truth victorious; our Star is risen, our Light is come! Now come, O blessed One, God's own beloved Son, Alleluia! Oh, hear the call! Come one, come all, and follow to the banquet hall! 3 All the heavens and earth adore you, and saints and angels sing before you, with harp and cymbal's clearest tone; gates of gleaming pearl before us resound as angels sing in chorus and lead us to your dazzling throne. No eye has seen that light, no ear the echoed might of your glory; but we rejoice and sing the song, Alleluia! through ages long.

As the disciples, when thy Son had left them

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:35 Lyrics: 1 As the disciples, when thy Son had left them, met in a love-feast, joyfully conversing, all the stored memory of the Lord's last supper fondly rehearsing; 2 So may we here, who gather now in friendship, seek for the spirit of those earlier churches, welcoming him who stands and for an entrance, patiently searches. 3 As, when their converse closed and supper ended, taking the bread and wine they made thanksgiving, breaking and blessing, thus to have communion with Christ the living; 4 So may we here, a company of faithful, make this our love-feast and commemoration, that in his Spirit we may have more worthy participation. 5 And as they prayed and sang to thee rejoicing, ere in the night-fall they embraced and parted, in their hearts singing as they journeyed homeward, brave and true-hearted; 6 So may we here, like grain that once was scattered over a hill-side, now one bread united, led by the Spirit, do thy work rejoicing, lamps filled and lighted.
