Beyond the sunset, oh, blissful morning
When with our Savior Heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended, 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 wait for roses red when fades the lilac's blue
In early fall when brown leaves fall I'll catch a glimpse of you
Should you go first and I remain for battles to be fought
Each thing you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot
I'll hear your voice, I'll see your smile, though blindly I may grope
The memory of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
Should you go first and I remain to finish with the scroll
No lengthening shadow shall creep in to make this life seem droll
We've known so much happiness, 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, long path, for soon I'll follow you
I want to know each step you take so I may walk the same
For someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name
Beyond the sunset, oh, glad reunion
With our dear loved ones who've gone on before
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting
Beyond the sunset for evermore
