CHRISTIAN, when sunset rays
Across thy pathway blaze,
And show thee that thy days
Below are few,
Lift up thy head on high,
Redemption draweth nigh,
By faith thou wilt descry
The home in view.
A home so fair and bright,
Where there is no dark night,
The Lamb is all the light,
And glory too.
While to thy raptured sight,
At evening time the light
Shall be exceeding bright,
Eternal too.
Our joy may well o’erflow,
To leave this world of woe,
With Jesus Christ to go,
And praise Him too.
Praise Him, whose love and grace
Have spanned our earthly race,
And have prepared our place
In glory too.
