My latest sun is sinking fast,
My race is nearly run;
Soon all my trials will be past,
My triumph is begun.
Refrain
O come, Christ my King, my voice shall ever sing!
O carry me up through the clouds above,
To my eternal home.
O carry me up through the clouds above,
To my eternal home!
I know I’m near the holy ranks
Of friends and kindred dear.
I hear the waves on Jordan’s banks,
The crossing must be near.
Refrain
I know my God will not forsake
With joy my spirit sings!
And all the blessed God shall take;
They’ll mount on eagle’s wings.
Refrain
O bear my longing heart to Him,
Who bled and died for me.
Whose blood has cleansed me
From all sin and gives me victory!
Refrain
O come, Christ my King, my voice shall ever sing!
O carry me up through the clouds above,
To my eternal home.
O carry me up through the clouds above,
To my eternal home!
