I was at a Memorial Service yesterday for a sweet friend and heard this song for the first time!
Beyond The Sunset Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning. When with our Saviour heaven’s begun. Earth’s toiling ended, O glorious dawning. Beyond the sunset when day is done. Beyond the sunset, no clouds will gather, no storms will threaten, no fears annoy. O day of gladness, O day unending. Beyond the sunset eternal joy. Beyond the sunset, a hand will guide me. To God the Father whom I adore. His glorious presence, His words of welcome, will be my portion on that fair shore. 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 forevermore. Words by Virgil P. Brock Back
Apparently, I missed being exposed to this wonderful hymn while growing up. Yet, I love the words and I especially like the very end! I do believe I will be reminded of this song often as I absorb the beauty of the setting sun and the way it highlights everything around it! I “just so happen” to have a few sunset pictures to add with this post! May they remind you of the hope we have of seeing loved ones who knew Christ as their Savior again in Heaven one day!
