155 How long, dear Savior

Tune: Northfield, Jeremiah Ingalls, 1800

Text: Isaac Watts, 1701

How long, dear Savior, O how long
Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swift around, ye wheels of time,
And bring the promised day.

From the third heaven, where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The new Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.

Tune: Roll Jordan - Charles Wesley, 1758 alt.

Text: AW and John G McCurry, 1855. (incomplete here)

He comes! He comes! the Judge severe!
Roll, Jordan, roll;
The seventh trumpet speaks Him near;
Roll, Jordan, roll;

I want to go to heav'n, I do, Hallelujah, Lord,
We'll praise the Lord in heav'n above
Roll, Jordan, roll.

His lightnings flash, His thunders roll;
Roll, Jordan, roll;
How welcome to the faithful soul!
Roll, Jordan, roll;

I want to go to heav'n, I do, Hallelujah, Lord,
We'll praise the Lord in heav'n above
Roll, Jordan, roll.
