Beyond the Sunset

Should you go first and I remain to walk the road alone
I’ll live in mem’ry’s garden dear with happy days we’ve known
In spring I’ll wait for roses red when fades the lilacs bloom
And 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 mem’ry of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
Beyond the sunset oh blissful morning when with our Saviour heaven is begun
Earth’s toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is done
