When the night shades gent­ly are fall­ing,
And the lights soft­ly glow in the sky,
Then I think of the home ov­er yon­der,
And it seems to be so near by.

Refrain

O the glo­ry await­ing in the home­land,
When our day’s work here is done!
We will be safe home with the Fa­ther,
And no sor­row shall ev­er come.

Whatever the task that is giv­en,
I will faith­ful­ly la­bor on;
Contented if, when it is fin­ished,
The Fa­ther shall say, Well done.

Refrain

And when my day here is end­ed,
And the twi­light of life I’ve won,
I will face to­ward home in the ev­en­ing,
And wait for the lights to come.
