Beyond The Sunset

George Younce and The Gaithers

Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning.
When with our Saviour heaven is begun.
Earth's toiling ended, O glorious dawning
Beyond the sunset when day is done.

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
I'll live in memory's garden dear with happy days we've known
In spring I'll watch for roses red and shades of lilac blue
In early fall when brown leaves fall I'll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll
No lenghtening shadows shall creep in to make this life seem droll
We've known so much of happiness and we've had our cup of joy
But memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy
Should you go first and I remain for battles to be fought
Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot
I'll hear your voice I'll see your smile though blindly I may grope
But memories of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
Should you go first and I remain there's one thing I'd have you do
Walk slowly down that long long path for soon I'll follow you
And I want to know each step you take so that I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name

Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion,
With our dear loved ones who've gone before,
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting.
Beyond the sunset forever more.
Beyond the sunset forever more.
