BEYOND THE GOLDEN SUNSET
Beyond the golden sunset There's a land of lasting peace That's filled with deep contentment And a sense of sweet release A land, untouched by grief or care Where none need feel alone And in that lovely land beyond We each shall find our own.

BEYOND LIFE'S GATEWAY There's an open gate At the end of the road Through which each must go alone, And there in a light we cannot see Our Father claims His own. Beyond the gate your loved one Finds happiness and rest And there is comfort In the thought That a loving God knows best.
