Tune: Bless God from whom all blessings flow….
I in the autumn’s fine array see more than I with words can say, my life I in this season see that soon in Paradise will be!
The golden colors seem to say that though my body will decay, my age its beauty may not lose if Christ I in His fullness choose!
I at the soil of any grave may laugh because my Lord will save me from its shadow, gloom and fear His “welcome home” I soon shall hear!
Lo, yonder Jesus has prepared a place for me, so why be scared? Light lies ahead, my motto is, such words of hope are solely His!
In Jesus Christ and Him alone I have my Rock and Cornerstone, the more my colors fade away, the more He shines as brightest day!
