Meeting My Lord

In the stillness of the dark of night

I anticipate the morning light.

Hearing whispers of the dawn

I rise

To go forth and meet my Lord.

Jesus

Thou art the Sun of my soul;

Thou stirrest love I cannot control.

By Thine appearing

I am made whole;

All the darkness flees and shadows roll

When I go to meet my Lord.

When the anxious thoughts of life appear

When the path grows dim

the way unclear

And the whispers

doubts

assail mine ear

I go forth to meet my Lord.

Jesus

Thou art my Rock and my Shield

Speak to me

and my faith shall be healed.

All trust and hope to Thee I would yield.

All the fears are shut away and sealed

When I go to meet my Lord.

As the days on earth pass swiftly by

And the day of Thy return draws nigh

I await each dawning of the sky:

I will surely meet my Lord.

Jesus—the longing deep in my heart

E’en from Thy shadow I’d ne’er depart.

Lord

Thou hast won me right from the start.

Soon we nevermore shall be apart

On the day I’ll meet Thee

Lord.
