  1. The hour of my departure
    I may not know,
    But Christ in love hath taught me
    To watch while here below,
    My lamp to keep bright burning
    With oil divine,
    That at the Lord’s appearing,
    My soul with grace may shine.
    • Refrain:
      The hour of my departure
      My Savior knows,
      And, in His love confiding,
      I dwell in sweet repose.
  2. The hour of my departure
    I’ll keep in view,
    And strive, while here I linger,
    Some precious work to do,
    Some service for the Master,
    Or cross to bear,
    That I a crown unfading
    And robe of white may wear.
  3. The hour of my departure
    May soon be here;
    To me the thought is joyful,
    And yonder light is clear;
    I see the sunlit mountains
    Where I shall stand,
    I hear the songs enchanting
    Of yon celestial band.
