73. Beyond the Sunset's Radiant Glow (Beyond the Sunset)

1 Beyond the sunset's radiant glow
There is a brighter world, I know,
Where golden glories ever shine,-
Beyond the tho't of day's decline.

Chorus:
Beyond the sunset's radiant glow,
There is a brighter world, I know,
Beyond the sunset I may spend
Delightful days that never end.

2 Beyond the sunset's purple rim,-
Beyond the twilight, deep and dim,
Where clouds and darkness never come,
My soul shall find its heav'nly home. [Chorus]

3 Beyond this desert, dark and drear,
The golden city will appear;
And morning's lovely beams arise
Upon my mansion in the skies. [Chorus]
