I PASS another milestone,
Upon the journey home;
And nearer, ever nearer
The lights of heaven come.

Their light illumes the pathway,
Through all the desert way;
The dawn of morning growing
Into the perfect day.

It shone upon my childhood
It showed me self and sin,
It led me to the Saviour,
To peace and joy within.

It cast its glorious radiance
Into my inmost heart;
Revealing Christ in glory
And with Him there my part.

Displaying all the fullness
Of God’s unchanging love,
A Father’s love upon me
A Father’s house above.

It showed me Christ the Center
Of all God’s wondrous plan,
The Object of His counsel, —
The glorious Son of Man.
Psa. 8; Ephesians 1:10.
It shines upon my manhood
With ever bright’ning ray
Directs the gaze on JESUS
From all of earth away.

And till the race is ended
That light my guide will be;
Till hope shall have fruition
With Christ eternally.
