Long upon the Mountains (EN 2580)

EN 2580 Long upon the Mountains

Ezek.34.12

Versi Version 1

1

Long upon the mountains weary,

Have the scattered flock been torn;

Dark the desert paths, and dreary;

Grievous trials have they borne.

Now the gathering call is sounding,

Solemn in its warning voice;

Union, faith, and love, abounding,

Bid the little flock rejoice.

2

Now the light of truth they’re seeking,

In its onward track pursue;

All the ten commandments keeping,

They are holy, just and true.

On the words of life they’re feeding,

Precious to their taste so sweet;

All their Master’s precepts heeding,

Bowing humbly at His feet.

3

In that light of light and beauty,

In that golden city fair,

Soon its pearly gates they’ll enter,

And of all its glories share.

There, divine the soul’s expansions;

Free from sin, and death, and pain;

Tears will never dim those mansions

Where the saints immortal reign.

4

Soon He comes! with clouds descending;

All His saints, entombed arise;

The redeemed, in anthems blending,

Shout their vic’try thro’ the skies.

O, we long for Thine appearing;

Come, O Savior, quickly come!

Blessed hope! our spirits cheering,

Take Thy ransomed children home.
