Hymns by the Western Stars ‎#23

23. After the Sunrise

1 Sorrows surround us while treading life's road,
Troubles confound us, make heavy our load;
Fetters that bound us, no longer will goad,
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be.

Refrain:
After the sunrise, happy we'll be,
We know after the sunrise, Jesus we'll see;
All will be glory, singing the story,
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be.

2 Shadows will vanish when morning shall come,
Lovelight will banish sin's vapors like scum;
Even the clanish together will hum,
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be. [Refrain]

3 Angels are waiting to carry the news,
Why stand debating, why longer refuse?
Cease all your hateing, be changing your views,
After the sunrise, how happy we'll be. [Refrain]
