Walking Alone at Eve
(or Walking Alone at Eve and Viewing the Skies Af
ar)
}
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 ab
ove,
God in His pow'r and might is showing His truth a
nd love.
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 drawin
g near,
Spreading His love and truth around me and ev'ryw
here.
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 r
oam,
Pleading with Him to guide me on to the spirit's
home!
Chorus O! for a home with God, a place in His cou
rts 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!
