SDA Hymnal (1985) Hymn # 439
[Verse 1]
D G D [tab] A A7 G D I bent my steps—the watchman spake: D G D “The long, dark night is almost gone, A A7 D The morning soon will break. A A7 G D Then weep no more, but speed thy flight, A A7 G D With Hope’s bright star thy guiding ray, D G D Till thou shalt reach the realms of light, A A7 D In everlasting day.”
[Verse 2]
D G D I asked the warrior on the field; A A7 G D This was his soul-inspiring song: D G D “With courage bold, the sword I’ll wield, A A7 D The battle is not long. A A7 G D Then weep no more, but well endure A A7 G D The conflict, till thy work is done; D G D For this we know, the prize is sure, A A7 D When victory is won.”
[Verse 3]
D G D I asked again; earth, sea, and sun A A7 G D Seemed, with one voice, to make reply: D G D “Time’s wasting sands are nearly run, A A7 D E-ter-ni-ty is nigh. A A7 G D Then weep no more—with warning tones, A A7 G D Portentous sights are thick’ning round, D G D The whole creation, waiting, groans, A A7 D To hear the trumpet sound.”
[Verse 4]
D G D Not far from home! O blessed thought! A A7 G D The trav’ler’s lonely heart to cheer; D G D Which oft a healing balm has brought, A A7 D And dried the mourner’s tear. A A7 G D Then weep no more, since we shall meet A A7 G D Where weary footsteps never roam— D G D Our trials past, our joys complete, A A7 D Safe in our Father’s home.
