When the Hearts we Fondly Cherish

Author: Grace J. Frances Hymnal: JL1884 #25 (1884) Person Name: Grace J. Frances Lyrics: 1 When the hearts we fondly cherish, From our home are far away, For the absent ones returning, How we long, and watch, and pray; How we look to see them coming, When the moon is on the hill; And the lonely star of midnight Finds us watching, praying still. 2 Yes, we look for their returning, Till our aching eyes grow dim; But the Master too is coming; Are we watching now for Him? O the sleepless, anxious moments That for others oft we spend, Tho' we fail to heed the counsel Of our kindest, dearest Friend. 3 Place the watch lamp in the window, Let its rays burn bright and clear, Lest the Bridegroom should surprise us, For His coming may be near; “Watch, and be ye also ready.” Were His parting words to all; He may come at early dawning, Or when evening shadows fall. Scripture: Matthew 24:42 Languages: English Tune Title: [When the hearts we fondly cherish]
