1. My days are swiftly passing by,
    My time ere long will close,
    But I’ve a home beyond the sky
    Where I shall soon repose.
    • Refrain:
      Yes, passing gently, gently on
      To realms of holy rest,
      My soul is filled with rapt’rous song,
      I’ll sing among the blest.
  2. Then help me, Lord, to ever be
    A faithful child of Thine,
    Washed in Thy blood that flowed so free,
    And filled with love divine.
  3. I press my hand, dear Lord, in Thine,
    And walk by faith with Thee,
    Oh, let Thy glory in me shine,
    That men Thy life may see.
  4. I walk and talk with Jesus now,
    And lean upon His arm,
    And to His scepter meekly bow;
    He keeps me from all harm.
