Long Upon The Mountains
Long Upon The Mountain Dreary
Long upon the mountains
Have the scattered flock been torn
Dark the desert paths and dreary
Grievous the trials they’ve borne
Long upon the mountains weary
Has the scattered flock been torn
Dark the desert paths and dreary
Grievous the trials have they’ve borne
Now the gathering call is sounding
Solemn in its warning voice
In faith and love abounding
Bid the little flock rejoice
Now the light of truth they’re seeking
In its onward track pursue
All the ten commandments keeping
For they are holy just and true
On the words of life they are feeding
Precious to their taste so sweet
All their master’s precepts heeding
Bowing humbly at his feet
In the light of light and beauty
In the golden city fair
Soon it’s pearly gates they’ll enter
And all its glories to share
There divine the soul expansion
Free from sin and death and pain
Tears will never dim those mansions
Where the saints immortal reign
Soon he comes with clouds descending
All his saints entombed arise
The redeemed in anthems blending
Shout their victory through the skies
How we long for Thine appearing
Come O Saviour quickly come
Blessed hope our spirits cheering
Take Thy ransomed children home
Long upon the mountain weary
Have the scattered flock been torn
Dark the desert paths and dreary
Oh and how grievous the trials have they’ve borne
How we long for Thine appearing
Come O Saviour quickly come
Blessed hope our spirits cheering
Take Thy ransomed children home
Take Thy ransomed children home
Long upon the mountains weary
Has the scattered flock been torn
Dark the desert paths and dreary
Grievous the trials have they borne
Oh we long for Thine appearing
Come O Saviour quickly come
Blessed hope our spirits cheering
Take Thy ransomed children home
Blessed hope our spirit cheering
Come O Saviour quickly come
We long for Thine appearing
Take Thy ransomed children home
Take Thy ransomed children home
O Saviour quickly come
About Us:
This world is a dry and weary land.
All around us are people dying for a drink of fresh, new life.
In the Bible, drought and famine were used as a symbol of the lack or withdrawal of God's blessing.
Like the prodigal son and the lost sheep, we have all chosen to leave the safety and security of God's love and favor, enticed by our own lusts and the alluring but empty and deadly deceptions of the enemy of our souls.
We find ourselves lost, alone, broken, hungry, thirsty and on the brink of death.
But none have strayed so far that they cannot return.
Jesus actively seeks and works to rescue every last one of His precious souls redeemed from destruction by the very high price of His spotless life and terrible death on their behalf.
As the world departs further and further from God, and you find yourself in a dark, lonely desert place longing for hope, faith, love and a future, remember that Jesus loves you.
Cry out to Him for help and surrender your life back to Him.
He promised He would take you back, always.
We pray the music ministry of The Rain refreshes your dry and weary soul, and opens your heart for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit in these end times.
And if you want to use any of the instrumental tracks to sing to at your church or other live function, please feel free! We would love that. We love radio play too! Feel free to play any and all songs and tracks on your radio station or website if you have one. Spreading God's love through music makes us happy. God inhabits the praise of His people!
Love,
Nick and Lauren
