Beyond the sun­set’s ra­di­ant glow
Thou art fair­er than the morn­ing,
The sun­beams shin­ing from the liv­ing Light
Till my soul is lost in love,
Some wan­d’ring one now gone as­tray?
That like a gold­en lus­ter
That like a gold­en lus­ter
Sing with a trust­ing heart, look­ing away
And thou, re­ful­gent orb of day,
May Thy love with­in me shine
In the nar­row way,
Come, Je­sus! come! re­turn again:
That lights the morn­ing sky.
Gazing t’ward th’eter­nal day;
start
With floods of joy and hap­pi­ness,
From grace to grace ev­ery day;
From grace to grace ev­ery day;
To each, to all, on this aus­pi­cious morn,
His once-dis­hon­ored form appears,

bright­er

Where gold­en glo­ries ev­er shine,
At the glo­ry of Thy pre­sence
The stars of pro­mise cheer­ing sor­row’s night
end
Men’s cares any light­er,
The dross alone will van­ish,
The dross alone will van­ish,
Sing with a glow­ing heart filled with His love,
My soul, which springs be­yond thy sphere,
As a bea­con light of Thine,
Ev­ery passing day!
Who long to feel Thy per­fect reign,
When He, vic­tor­ious, rose,
Ent’ring Heav­en—saved for aye!
We will journ­ey on;
After all, af­ter all.
While press­ing my home­ward way,
While press­ing my home­ward way,
New joys are giv­en, and bright­er hopes are born.
Millions be­fore Him trem­bling stand,
