| S.M. | |
| 1 | ‘Tis not far off-the hour When Christ will claim His own; We soon shall hear that voice of power; The Lord Himself shall come! |
| 2 | The days are passing by, The years flow on apace; Lord Jesus, Thy return draws nigh, We long to see Thy face. |
| 3 | Eternal in the heav’ns Is our prepared abode – Radiant and pure in light divine, The building of our God. |
| 4 | Then rest, divinely sweet, Our pilgrim feet shall know; And through that blest eternity What tides of praise shall flow! |
| 5 | In patience, Lord, we wait For Thee to take us home; Fulfil to us Thy gracious word. Amen, Lord Jesus, Come! |
Hannah Burlingham (1842-1901) – Little Flock No 165
