The Land Beyond the Sun

O, see that sunset. That means the day is almost done, But there’s a new day dawning In a land beyond the sun. A day of perfect peace and joy For you and me, In a land, beyond the sun, That we call Eternity. O, see that sunset. That means it won't be long till night; But after just a short sleep, We'll wake to morning light. A morning when from pain and grief We’ll all be free. In that land beyond the sun, That we call Eternity. Where no one ever dies; No tears will dim our eyes. In the presence of the Lord We'll ever be. He'll wipe away all tears; We'll live through endless years, In that land beyond the sun, That we call Eternity.
