Author: Anon. Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: See, brethren, see how the day rolls on Lyrics: 1 See, brethren, see how the day rolls on, Quickly will the Saviour come; Hark! hear the sound, "he will appear," Sweetly falls upon the ear. Chorus: Then haste, let us work till the daylight is o'er, Our hearts fill'd with love as we row to the shore; Our earthly labor being done, How sweet the Christian's welcome home! Home, home, home, the Christian's welcome home; Sweet, O sweet the Christian's welcome home, Welcome home, welcome home, Welcome home. 2 Lift up your heads, and rejoice in God; Shout his praises all abroad; Soon shall we hear the voice, "'Tis one; Child, your Father calls; come home." [Chorus] 3 Come, sinners, come, let us all awake! And the Spirit's truth partake; Soon will appear, and O how bright! Prayer to praise and faith to sight. [Chorus] 4 Hail, brethren, hail! it's the new-born year; Michael's trump we soon shall hear, Then will the saints and angels sing, "Glory be to heaven's King."

Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: See, Christian, see, how time steals on Lyrics: 1 See, Christians, see, how time steals on, Soon will set life's sinking sun; Like to the gleams of closing day, Fade these fleeting hours away. Then up, let us toil, till our toilings are o'er, Till we shall be borne to eternity's shore; Our final summons having come, How sweet the Christian's welcome home! Home, home, home, the Christian's welcome home! Sweet, oh! sweet the Christian's welcome home! Welcome home! welcome home! welcome home! 2 See how the shades of death come nigh, Blissful shades when Christians die; They mark the path our Saviour trod, Dying saints to waft to God! Then up, fellow Christian, let mourning be o'er, Rejoice in thy Saviour, rejoice evermore! Our angel convoy having come, How sweet the Christian's welcome home! Home, home, home, the Christian's welcome home! Sweet, oh! sweet the Christian's welcome home! Welcome home! welcome home! welcome home! Used With Tune: THE CHRISTIAN'S WELCOME HOME

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Then haste, let us work till the daylight is o'er" 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.
