Today’s hymn comes from pastor Jeremy Walker, a pastor of an independent reformed Baptist church in the UK. Pastor Jeremy wrote this after spending time talking with a saint who was near leaving earth to be at home with the Lord1. I hope you enjoy reading and mediating on this one, longing for your own journey Home; enjoy!
My day is drawing to an end,
The light of life grows dim;
My thoughts to Christ all sweetly tend,
For soon I’ll be with Him.
I must put off this feeble tent,
But death itself defy;
My soul released, I’ll make ascent
To be with Christ on high.
The sufferings of this present time
Soon swallowed up in love;
Out of this pain and darkness climb—
Glory to come above!
My soul with Him in perfect joy
Will wait the coming morn;
I know that nothing can destroy
The hope of that new dawn.
In Christ most happy and most blessed,
A body new I’ll take;
And all be peace, delight, and rest
When in His form I wake.
And much that I have known below
Shall quickly fade away,
But life in Christ I’ll ever know,
In God’s eternal day.
