Lyrics

When I shall come to the end of my way,
When I shall rest at the close of life’s day,
When Welcome home I shall hear Jesus say,
O that will be sunrise for me.

Refrain

Sunrise tomorrow, sunrise tomorrow,
Sunrise in glory is waiting for me;
Sunrise tomorrow, sunrise tomorrow,
Sunrise with Jesus for eternity.

When in His beauty I see the great King,
Join with the ransomed His praises to sing,
When I shall join them my tributes to bring,
O that will be sunrise for me.

Refrain

When life is over and daylight is passed,
In Heaven’s harbor my anchor is cast,
When I see Jesus my Savior at last,
O that will be sunrise for me.
