The sun­light is fad­ing,
The night is draw­ing nigh,
And swift­ly the dark­ness
Falls ov­er earth and sky;
But light still is near me,
Tho’ thick the sha­dows come,
’Tis the light of my hea­ven­ly home.

Refrain

’Tis the light of my hea­ven­ly home,
’Tis the light of my hea­ven­ly home,
Tho’ the sha­dows may fall
And the dark­ness may come,
I’ve the light of my hea­ven­ly home.

The cold winds are sweep­ing
Over yon rug­ged height,
But fac­ing it on­ward
The drea­ry way I fight;
The prize is be­fore me,
I’ll reach it, and so soon,
’Tis the light of my hea­ven­ly home.

Refrain

This path which is nar­row,
I tra­vel all alone,
For friends once were with me
Long wea­ry since have grown;
I’m near­ing the Sav­ior,
He’s call­ing for His own,
To the light of my hea­ven­ly home.

Refrain

The sha­dows are clear­ing,
Earth’s scenes be­fore me flee,
The morn­ing of glo­ry
Is break­ing now to me;
The Sav­ior doth wel­come
And bid­deth me to come.
He’s the light of my heav­en­ly home.
