"BEYOND THE SUNSET"

                                   "BEYOND THE SUNSET"

                             " Beyond the sunset's radiant glow

                                 there is a better world I know,

                                Where golden glories ever shine,

                              Beyond the thought of day' s decline.

                             Beyond the sunset's purple rim,

                            Beyond the twilight deep and dim,

                                Where clouds and darkness never come,

                           My soul shall find it's heavenly home.

                            Beyond this desert dark and drear,

                           The golden city will appear.

                           And morning's lovely beams arise,

                          Upon my mansion in the skies.

                         Those golden portals ever shine,

                         Beyond the reach of day's decline,

                        And Jesus bids my soul prepare

                           to gain a happy entrance there.

                        Beyond the sunset's radiant glow,

                           There is a brighter world I know;

                        Beyond the sun-set,

                           I may spend delightful days that never end."

W. O. Perkins.
