Verse 1
When the toils of earth are o'er, I shall dwell for evermore, In a land free from fear and hate; I shall see my Savior's face, And in heaven take my place, When I come to the sunset gate.
Verse 2
Tho' my heart is sometimes sad, I've a hope that makes me glad, For the pathway I tread is straight; And I know that I shall be From all sin and sorrow free, When I come to the sunset gate.
Verse 3
O, what bliss it will afford, When I see my loving Lord, And rejoice in that glory great; How my heart with joy will thrill, And my soul with rapture fill, When I come to the sunset gate.
Verse 4
There will be no more goodbyes, No more sad and weeping eyes, In that land where the saved ones wait; I shall dwell for evermore, On that happy golden shore, When I come to the sunset gate.
Chorus
When I come to the sunset gate, Where the saved ones in glory wait; I shall lay my burden down, And receive a golden crown, When I come to the sunset gate.
