"Beyond the Sunset" Lyrics

(Virgil P. Brock - Blanche K. Brock)

Beyond the sunset, oh, blisful morning
When with our Saviour heaven is begun
Earths roll is ending, oh, 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 when fades of lilac's blue
In early fall when the brown leaves call 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 yes we've had our cup of joy
And memory is one gift of God that death cannot destroy.

Should you go first and I remain one thing I'd have you do
Walk slowly down that long path for soon I'll follow you
I want to know each step you take that I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call
Yes, you'll hear me call your name.

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

(For evermore...)
