I am trav'ling tow'rd the sunset gate, I'm a pilgrim going home; For the glow of eventide I wait, I'm a pilgrim going home. Refrain Evening bells I seem to hear As the sunset gate draws near! Evening bells I seem to hear As the sunset gate draws near! There is tranquil rest when day is done, I shall lay me down in peace; When the end is reached at set of sun, I shall lay me down in peace. Refrain By the side of those most near and dear, I shall drop life's toil and care; When the Master's tender voice I hear, I shall drop life's toil and care. Refrain I shall rise again at morning dawn, I shall put on glory then; With the shadowy veil of death undrawn, I shall put on glory then. Refrain
