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.
