O'er the distant mountains breaking
Author: J.S.B. Monsell Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 O’er the distant mountains breaking,
Comes the reddening dawn of day;
Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking,
Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray;
’Tis thy Savior,
On His bright returning way.
2 O Thou Long-expected, weary
Waits my anxious soul for Thee,
Life is dark, and earth is dreary,
When Thy light I do not see;
O my Savior,
When wilt Thou return to me?
3 Nearer is my soul’s salvation,
Spent the night, the day at hand;
Keep me, in my lowly station,
Watching for Thee, till I stand,
O my Savior,
In Thy bright, Thy promised land.
4 With my lamp well trimmed and burning,
Swift to hear and slow to roam,
Watching for Thy glad returning
To restore me to my home.
Come, my Savior,
Thou hast promised, quickly come. Used With Tune: [O'er the distant mountains breaking]

The morning light is breaking
Author: Dr. S. F. Smith, 1808-1895 Appears in 1,170 hymnals Topics: Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking;
The darkness disappears;
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears.
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar,
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.
2 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above;
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,
And seek the Saviour's blessing,
A nation in a day.
3 Blest river of salvation,
Pursue thine onward way;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay;
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, "The Lord is come!" Used With Tune: WEBB
The morning light is breaking
Jesus comes with all His grace
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus comes with all His grace,
Comes to save a fallen race;
Object of our glorious hope,
Jesus comes to lift us up.
2 He hath our salvation wrought,
He our captive souls hath bought;
He hath reconciled to God,
He hath washed us in His blood.
3 We are now His lawful right,
Walk as children of the light;
We shall soon obtain the grace,
Pure in Heart, to see His face.
4 We shall gain our calling's prize;
After God we all shall rise,
Filled with joy, and love, and peace,
Perfected in holiness.
5 Let us then rejoice in hope,
Steadily to Christ look up,
Trust to be redeemed from sin,
Wait till He appear within.
6 Hasten, Lord, the perfect day
Let Thy every servant say,
I have now obtained the power
Born of God, to sin no more. Used With Tune: VIENNA

dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

“Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink, and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto Me; thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my sun;
And in that Light of life I’ll walk,
Till traveling days are done. Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI
