Beyond the Sunset

1 Some day this life will all be over,
Some day our souls will fly away,
To be in Judgment with our Savior,
At the sunset of the life's day;
I want to join the celebration,
Somewhere beyond the setting sun,
Where I shall hear my Jesus tell me
That a crown of life I've won.

Refrain:
Beyond the sunset, beyond the shadows,
Beyond this value of grief and pain,
Beyond the journey, thru death's dark valley,
I know I shall live again;
Beyond the heartaches and separations
The pearly gates are open wide,
Beyond the sunset, there's glory waiting,
Soon I shall see what waits inside.

2 I know there is a land of sunshine,
Somewhere beyond the setting sun,
Where we can live thru endless ages,
If a crown of life we've won;
And even tho my sun is sinking,
And soon the angels fair will come,
My ransomed soul will soon be winging,
Far beyond the setting sun.
