1Lift up your heads, desponding pilgrims;

Give to the winds your needless fears;

He who hath died on Calvary’s mountain,

Soon is to reign a thousand years.

H169, V3, L7

Yes, they sleep, but not forever,

In the lone and silent grave;

Blessed promise! they shall waken;

Jesus died the lost to save.

In the dawning of the morning,

When this troubled night is o’er,

All these buds in beauty blooming,

We’ll rejoice to see once more.

Yes, they sleep, but not forever,

In the lone and silent grave;

Blessed promise! they shall waken;

Jesus died the lost to save.

In the dawning of the morning,

When this troubled night is o’er,

All these dead to life returning,

We’ll rejoice to see once more.

H171, V3, L1,3

3The “Gentile Times” are closing, for their kings have had their day,

And with them sin and sorrow will forever pass away;

The tribe of Judah’s Lion now comes to hold the sway:

Our King is marching on.

3His oath, his cov’nant and his blood

Support me in the ‘whelming flood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He, then, is all my hope and stay.

That the mighty King of glory is the King of peace;

Tell it out with jubilation; let the song ne’er cease:

Tell it out! Tell it out!

2Watchman, is the light ascending

Of the grand Sabbatic year?

Are the voices now portending

That the kingdom’s very near?

Pilgrim, yes, I see just yonder

Canaan’s glorious heights arise;

Salem, too, appears in grandeur,

Tow’ringneath its cloudless skies.

2Watchman, is the light ascending

Of the grand Sabbatic year?

That the kingdom now is here?

Tow’ringneath its cloudless skies.

The Vow Song, V1, L4

1Heav’nly Father, I adore thee!

Hallowed be thy holy name;

Mighty angels bow before thee,

Should not mortals do the same?

May thy rule of love control me

And thy will in me be done

Hear the Vow I make before thee,

In the name of Christ, thy Son.

1Heav’nly Father, I adore thee!

Mighty angels bow before thee,

Should not mankind do the same?

May thy rule of love control me

And thy will in me be done

Hear the Vow I make before thee,

In the name of Christ, thy Son.
