When My Earthly Day Is Waning

When my earthly day is waning and my mortal robes I fold,

With the dawning of eternity begun,

I shall enter gates of pearl to walk on streets of shining gold,

In that city where they need no sun.

Refrain

In that city where they need no sun,

When at last my earthly race is run,

I shall see my Savior's face,

Revel in His love and grace

In that city where they need no sun.

O'er the fields of endless glory I shall wander with delight,

For with sadness and with pain I shall be done.

No more sorrow, no more sickness in that home so pure and bright,

In that city where they need no sun!

Refrain

With the countless blood-washed millions I shall sing beyond the skies

Praise to God and to the Lamb for sinners slain.

As the sound of many waters this triumphant song shall rise

And resound throughout God's vast domain.

Refrain
