• "Beyond the Sunset are the Hills of God" by Fannie Sherrick
  • Gleaming folds of red and gold linger in the western sky;
  • Fleecy clouds of purest tint, mingle with the purple dye.
  • Faintly to the dreamy mind comes the sound of earthly life;
  • Far beyond the shining banks, cometh rest from worldly strife.
  • Through the sunset's misty veil, now we look with longing eyes,
  • To behold more beauteous sight than the evening's glor'ous skies.
  • Like the rainbow's promise clear, God has placed His emblem there,
  • Giving life and trust to all, love unbounded, rich and rare.
  • Glimpses of a life beyond come to each faint, weary heart,
  • And we long for that bright shore where the loved ones ne'er shall part.
  • Though the life be weary spent, evening brings the glory near;
  • And beyond the sunset's glow, grand the hills of God appear.
