  2. 274Come, Lord, and tarry notCome, Lord, and tarry not; Bring the long-looked-for day; Oh! why these years of waiting here, These ages of delay?
  3. 276Son of God, thy people shieldSon of God, thy people shield, Must we still thine absence mourn? Let thy promise be fulfilled, Thou hast said, I will return. Gracious Master, soon appear, Take me to thy home of light; Thou wilt close the constant tear, Hope be turned to joyful sight.
  4. 281Oh! how I long to see that dayOh! how I long to see that day When the redeemed shall come To Zion, clad in white array, Their blissful, happy home.
  5. 282There is a land, a better land than thisThere is a land, a better land than this— There's my home, there's my home, My captive heart still there for bliss, There's my home, there's my home. A captive here, I long to soar, I long to count my exile o'er, And lo! where sorrows come no more; There's my home, there's my home.
  6. 287How long, O Lord our SaviourHow long, O Lord our Saviour, Wilt thou remain away? Our hearts are growing weary Of thy so long delay. Oh! when shall come the moment, When, brighter far than morn, The sunshine of thy glory Shall on thy people dawn!

  8. 295Time, thou speed'st on, but slowlyTime, thou speed'st on, but slowly; Hours, how lovely is your pace! Eve with Him, the light and holy, Shall we stand before his face. Here is naught but care and mourning; Comes a joy, it will not stay, Fairly shines the sun at dawning, Night will soon o'ercloud the day.
  9. 299Tis the midst of temptation, and sorrow, and strifeTis the midst of temptation, and sorrow, and strife, And evils unnumbered, of this bitter life, I look for a blessed earth, free from all care, A home upon earth's surface, with Jesus a living all there.
  10. 301Twas a doleful night on Calvary's heightTwas a doleful night on Calvary's height, When the Lamb of God was slain; But there's a morning coming bright, When the just shall rise again. For the day O Jesus, my Saviour! dear Saviour, come!
  11. 351JERUSALEM, my happy homeJERUSALEM, my happy home, Oh! how I long for thee! When will my sorrows have an end? Thy joys, when shall I see?
