Author: Thos. R. Sweatmon Hymnal: The Majestic Hymnal, number two #15 (1959) First Line: Walking alone at eve and viewing the skies afar Refrain First Line: O! for a home with God, a place in His courts to rest Lyrics: 1 Walking alone at eve and viewing the skies afar,
Bidding the darkness come to welcome each silver star;
I have a great delight in the wonderful scenes above,
God in His pow'r and might is showing His truth and love.
Refrain:
O! for a home with God, a place in His courts to rest,
Sure in a safe abode with Jesus and the blest;
Rest for a weary soul once redeemed by the Savior’s love,
Where I’ll be pure and whole and live with my God above!
2 Sitting alone at eve and dreaming the hours away,
Watching the shadows falling now at the close of day;
God in His mercy comes with His word He is drawing near,
Spreading His love and truth around me and ev'rywhere. [Refrain]
3 Closing my eyes at eve and thinking of heaven’s grace,
Longing to see my Lord, yes, meeting Him face to face;
Trusting Him as my all wheresoever my footsteps roam,
Pleading with Him to guide me on to the spirit’s home! [Refrain]
