I Am Trav'ling Tow'rd The Sunset Gate

I am trav'ling tow'rd the 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!

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

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

I shall rise again at morning dawn,

I shall put on glory then;

With the shadowy veil of death undrawn,

I shall put on glory then.
