Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #163 (1898) Incipit: 34556 65312 35432 First Line: When the shades of evening gather Lyrics: 1 When the shades of evening gather,
And the sun has gone to sleep,
It is then I love to linger,
While the shadows round me creep,
Then I view the spangled heavens,
Sending out their golden bars,
And in fancy I am carried,
To that land beyond the stars,
To that land beyond the stars.
2 O I thank the Lord for darkness,
For it makes the stars shine bright,
And my soul is lifted upward,
When I see their golden light,
For I think of that fair country,
Where no discord ever jars,
And I feel homesick for heaven,
For that land beyond the stars,
For that land beyond the stars.
3 Cares of life will soon be over,
And the day will soon be done,
Then I'll go to that fair country,
When my race below is run,
God will send His angels for me,
I will get on board their cars,
And sweep thro' the golden pathway,
To that land beyond the stars,
To that land beyond the stars.
