'Twas a doleful night on Calvary's hight

Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Twas a doleful night on Calvary's hight, When the Lamb of God was slain; But hope's cheering ray shone bright o'er the day When he rose from the tomb again. O Jesus, my Saviour! dear Saviour, come! Our hearts weary grow of thy long delay; O hasten to gather us home. 2 I go, he said, to prepare a place, Blest mansions in glory's domain; And the promise sure, sweetly fell from his lips, "For you I'll return again." 3 How long, O Lord, shall we watch and weep For the rightful heir to reign? And the myriad saints in silence sleep, Who wait thy return regain? 4 See the signs fulfilled of his advent near! Soon he comes in his kingdom to reign! Not long will the wheels of his chariot stay, That brings his return again. 5 The soul once bowed 'neath its burden of woe Shall rejoice o'er the flowery plain, And a dazzling crown deck the careworn brow, When the King in his beauty shall reign!

Lo! the time hastens on, soon the morning will dawn

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1153 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lo! the time hastens on, soon the morning will dawn, When the King shall in glory descend: We expect soon to join the bright, holy throng, In the kingdom that never shall end. Chorus: O Saviour! dear Saviour! O Saviour, come! Here we mourn and we sigh, And we daily cry, "Come and gather the faithful home." 2 All the prophets of old saw a beautiful world, And they looked for the same with delight; And apostles have told of a city of gold, Where the Lamb is its glorious light. [Chorus] 3 O we long to be there, where no sorrow or care Can disturb that sweet, heavenly rest; And we hope soon to share in those beauties so rare In reserve for the good and the blest.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Lo! the time hastens on, soon the morning will dawn" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
