SUNSET GATES OF GOLD By G. N. CANNON Out beyond life's sunset glow, Is a wity fair I know, With gates of gold, Ever gleaming in the light, Home, sweet home forever bright, With joy untold Aged pilgrims one by one, Pass beyond life's setting sun, And enter there, Weary feet wending home, Heavan's golden. streets to roam, And mansions fair, Glory lingers on each brow, They have paid each sacred vow, In service true, Trials that beset their way, Have dissloved and fled away, All things are new. Far beyond the range of time, In a brighter better clime, They dwell in light, Ever more they sing God's praise, Through the everlasting days, Where there's no night.
