This page is dedicated to my mother. She has long passed and I miss her greatly but I am sure that the good Lord willing I will someday be with her in His heavenly home. This was one of her favourite songs and it took me a very long long time to find the lyrics. Sunsets were amazing to Mom so I have collected a few that I know we would have enjoyed watching together. I bet her heavenly view is much more fascinating don't you? The song you are listening to is Beyond The Sunset.

Beyond the sunset
O blissful morning
When with our Saviour
Heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended
Oh glorious dawning
Beyond the sunset
When day is done

Beyond the sunset
No clouds will gather
No storms will threaten
No fears annoy
Oh day of gladness
Oh 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
Oh glad reunion
With our dear loved ones
Who've gone before
In that fair homeland
We'll know no parting
Beyond the sunset
For evermore

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own
A place to find serenity
A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea
But all these things
I'm finding are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair
But let me be what I know best
A friend that's always ther















Our Sudbury Sunset


MY FRIEND

My friend is one who knows me well
Yet loves me just the same
Who is honest, earnest, loyal and true
always plays the game
Who dares too tell me when I'm wrong
Who helps me keep strong and true
Who's cheery smile is so worthwhile
A friend dear friend
Like You
