Hymn 165 — 'Tis not far off -- the hour
| 165 | MISS H. K. BURLINGHAM (1842-1901) Adapted | 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! | |
