A PASSING GUEST

We all are like a passing guest
On our way to eternity,
And He comes to each of us bless,
Prepare us to of sin be free.

He joins us on our pilgrim way
To trod with us our upward road
And from us cast our sins away
To lighten with His yoke our load.

Forgetting now what lies behind,
We journey on to what’s ahead,
And feel the cords of sin unbind
As we His Body, Blood, are fed.

A taste of heaven’s banquet here
Transforms us from the inside out
So we’ll be fit when we are there
And on the way remove all doubt.

For Truth is One, on road we learn;
It’s Jesus, to us Himself gives
When we our hearts to heaven turn,
As in each one His life He lives.
