SUNSET

THE SUNSET GLOWS UPON THE SEA,

IT LOOKS TO BE AFIRE.

THE COLOR FROM BENEATH IT SEEMS

TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.

THE GLORY SHINES UPON THE SEA

AS THE SUN SETS IN THE WEST.

THE BEAUTY IS FOR ALL TO SEE,

IT IS RISING TO THE CREST.

AN OLD SONG SAYS THAT WE SHALL MEET

ONE DAY BEYOND THE SUN,

WHEN ALL OUR TIME HERE IS FLEET,

AND ALL OUR WORK IS DONE.

WHAT BEAUTY MUST AWAIT US THERE

BEYOND THE SUNSET GLOW.

THE GLORY WE SEE SHALL NOT COMPARE

WITH ANYTHING WE NOW KNOW.

WITH COLORS SO BRIGHT, THERE IS NO NIGHT,

THE SON SHALL ALWAYS SHINE.

FOR HE IS THE LIGHT, THE ONLY LIGHT,

HE BIDS US TO COME AND DINE.

THE COLORS IN THE SUNSET PROVE

THAT THERE REALLY IS A SON

WHO LOVES US ALL, UNENDINGLY,

AT THE RISING, OR SETTING, OF THE SUN.

BEAUTY IS MADE BY HIM AND FOR HIM,

AS WERE ALL THINGS DONE.

HE LOVES US SO, EVEN IN THE GLOW,

IN THE GLOW OF THE SETTING SUN.
