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.
