Beyond the Sunset
Words by Virgil P. Brock

Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning, 
When with our Savior heav'n is begun; 
Earth's toiling ended, O glorious dawning, 
Beyond the sunset when day is done. 
Beyond the sunset, no clouds will gather, 
No storms will threaten, no fears annoy; 
O day of gladness, O day unending, 
Beyond the sunset eternal joy! 
Beyond the sunset, a hand will guide me 
To God the Father whom I adore; 
His glorious presence, His words of welcome, 
Will be my portion on that fair shore. 
Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion, 
With our dear loved ones who've gone before; 
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting, 
Beyond the sunset forever more!

Thanks so much for your kind words! And you have found words to go with my pictures! If I had known these words, I would have posted them myself, they are beautiful! We make a good team! Are you familiar with the beautiful poem "Crossing the Bar"? I added that to a sunset post one time, it is so beautiful.

It was so nice to read the lyrics! So often an old hymn is just that and we neglect the words, they just become sounds. Thank you! (I found you through a comment you left on Journey Through Grace. Your comment was so on target that I had to come find your blog!)

Hey Karin,

This sounds like one of those old Christian Hymns.

I love old Christian Hymns, I know some people find it old-fashioned, but there is a certain charm of the old-world Christian. I still have my mother's old hymnal book. :)

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
