<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>My days are gliding swiftly by;<br>
|
|
And I, a pilgrim stranger,<br>
|
|
Would not detain them as they fly,<br>
|
|
Those hours of toil and labor.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">For, oh! we stand on Jordan’s strand;<br>
|
|
Our friends are passing over;<br>
|
|
And, just before, the shining shore<br>
|
|
We may almost discover.</p>
|
|
<p>We’ll gird our loins, my brethren dear,<br>
|
|
Our distant home discerning:<br>
|
|
Our waiting Lord has left us word,<br>
|
|
Let ev’ry lamp be burning.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Should coming days be cold and dark,<br>
|
|
We need not cease our singing:<br>
|
|
That perfect rest naught can molest,<br>
|
|
Where golden harps are ringing.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Let sorrow’s rudest tempest blow,<br>
|
|
Each cord on earth to sever:<br>
|
|
Our King says, “Come,” and there’s our home,<br>
|
|
Forever, oh! forever.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
