Author: | Julia H. Johnston |
Tune: | [I am trav’ling tow’rd the sunset gate] |
Composer: | D. B. Towner |
1 I am trav’ling t’ward life’s sunset gate,
I’m a pilgrim going home;
For the glow of eventide I wait—
I’m a pilgrim going home.
Refrain:
Evening bells I seem to hear,
As the sunset gate draws near;
Evening bells I seem to hear,
As the sunset gate draws near.
2 There is tranquil rest when day is done,
I shall lay me down in peace;
When the end is reached at set of sun,
I shall lay me down in peace. [Refrain]
3 By the side of those most near and dear
I shall drop life’s toil and care;
When the Master’s tender voice I hear,
I shall drop life’s toil and care. [Refrain]
4 I shall rise again at morning dawn,
I shall put on glory then;
With the shad’wy veil of death undrawn,
I shall put on glory then. [Refrain]
