Hymn Context Compare
We kneel up­on the edge of time.
I won­der how ma­ny would glad­ly hear
That great, tre­men­dous day’s ap­proach­ing,
start
The com­ing of our Lord and king
The com­ing of our Lord and King
O’er and o’er re­peat­ing,
O that day of joy is com­ing,
Keep on watch­ing, O ye faith­ful,
start
But soon He’ll come in glo­ry,
Flee to the ark, O quick­ly fly;
Took from Thee the name of day;
There is pow’r in the blood, just look on high;
There is pow’r in the blood, just look on high;
Night is far spent, and dawn­ing tells
O be Thou near at ev­en­tide,
Oh sin­ner, arouse thee!
And tru­ly serve Him ev­er,

draw­ing nigh

Eternity, eter­ni­ty,
I won­der how ma­ny would glad­ly hear
Which was fore­told by an­cient pro­phets,
When Zi­on’s light shall come;
Upheld by hope all toil is sweet
Upheld by hope all toil is sweet
As your pulse is beat­ing.
We are watch­ing, we are wait­ing,
We shall see the King of glo­ry
When Christ, the Judge, shall come,
For the crown­ing day
Flee for your life, to Je­sus bow;
Listen to our hum­ble cry.
There is pow’r in the blood, plunge be­neath its wave;
There is pow’r in the blood, plunge be­neath its wave;
A morn­ing with­out clouds,
That peace may in my heart abide,
When Je­sus is com­ing,
We to His op­en wounds may fly
