Just fixed the ambiguity! thanks for the advice :)

Faithful Is The Word - 2 Timothy 2:11-13

AT/MO

1
Though Christ a thousand times
In Bethlehem be born,
If He’s not born in thee
Thy soul is still forlorn.
The Cross on Golgotha,
Will never save thy soul;
The Cross in thine own heart,
Alone can make thee whole.
 	
        O, Cross of Christ, I take thee
        Into this heart of mine,
        That I to my own self may die
        And rise to thy life Divine.

2
What e’er thou lovest, man,
That too become thou must;
God, if thou lovest God,
Dust, if thou lovest dust.
Go out, God will come in;
Die thou and let Him live;
Be not and He will be;
Wait and He’ll all things give.

3
To bring thee to thy God,
Love takes the shortest route;
The way which knowledge leads,
Is but a roundabout.
Drive out from thee the world,
And then thy heart shall be
Filled with the love of God,
And holy like as He.

Though Christ a Thousand Times (Hymn 477)

There are Times in My Life

You say waiting is a whisper

Jehovah the Great I AM

1. Since long ago at Bethany we parted,
 Within my heart there is a ceaseless void;
 How can I take my harp down from the willow?
 How can my songs without Thee be enjoyed?
 And when at night I’m keeping lonely vigil-
 Grown numb alike to sorrow and to cheer-
 Then I recall the promise of Thy coming,
 But sigh: O Lord, why, why Thou dost not yet appear?
2. Thy manger wakes the thought: I too am homeless;
 Thy cross strips earthly pleasures from my soul;
 Thy coming bids me seek a better country,
 For Thou Thyself art now my final goal.
 Since Thou art gone my joy has lost its flavor,
 My song the sweetness I would fain convey.
 Since Thou art gone the sense of void o’erwhelms me.
 Oh, how I long that Thou wilt come and not delay.
3. Though even now I know Thy loving presence,
 Yet in my heart there’s still a sense of lack.
 Enlightening and tenderest sustaining
 Can no more satisfy: I want Thee back.
 Despite Thy peace within, I still feel lonely;
 Despite Thy joy there still remains a sigh;
 When I feel most content, the silent yearning
 To see Thee face to face becomes an uttered cry.
4. What exile cannot but desire his homeland
 And long his people once again to greet?
 What soul on alien soil forgets his kindred?
 What parted lovers never yearn to meet?
 O Lord, how can these earthly loves and pleasures
 With all the joy of Thy return compare?
 Then, if I cannot here behold Thy countenance,
 What can I do but sigh till Thou, my Lord, appear?
5. Could’st Thou, O Lord, forget Thy word of promise
 Soon to return and take me unto Thee?
 Yet day by day and year by year I’ve waited
 And still I wait, and no return I see!
 Remember, Lord, the years I have been waiting
 While Thy dear footsteps linger far away.
 How long? How long? Oh! must I wait still longer
 Till Thou shalt come again in glorious array?
6. From generation unto generation
 Thy saints have come and gone, but have not seen
 Thy glorious promise pass into fulfillment.
 How long, how very long the time has been!
 Why cannot we, dear Lord, discern Thy footsteps?
 Why are the heavens still so closely sealed?
 Oh! must our waiting be prolonged still further
 Before Thou in Thy matchless splendor art revealed?
7. Lord, I recall the many years I’ve waited
 For Thy return-yet, Lord, not I alone,
 But Thy dear saints through many generations-
 Beseeching Thee to come back for Thine own.
 To countless tears and countless fervent pleadings,
 By Thine appearing haste to make reply.
 Oh, may Thou come, the echo of the ages,
 Come, come and answer now this mighty corp’rate cry!

  Your Parousia

2) Age will close - priced oil to buy
Our vessels to be filled
Lamps well-lit fast approaching His gaze
Virgins chaste 
Longing to see His face

3) “Well done slave!” - His dearest praise
Awaiting all redeemed
For the church all our talent to spend
Faithful ones
Serving Him to the end

4) Christ will come as thief at night
To steal the ones He loves
Who’ll be found worthy for him to take
Precious portion 
For us to partake

5) War to rage, we’ll soon be at
Armaggedon to fight
Mighty ones bold descending we’ll be
To destroy, 
Deal with God’s enemies

6) Heavens rule, the King will come
To swiftly end this age
Will we be overcomers that day
May we all 
Raptured be - this we pray
