When This Evening Sun Goes Down

The Carter Family

Compositor: A.P. Carter

When this evening sun goes down
Then in heaven I'll be found
I will end life's other side
When I cross the great divide

When this evening sun goes down
When I'll wear my starry crown
When I'll see a smiling face
And rest in amazing grace

He will wipe away my tears
He will blind me to all my fears
Then in joy I'll ever be bound
When this evening sun goes down

When this evening sun goes down
When they lay me 'neath the ground
When we'll meet, weep and mourn
Then I'll be in my heavenly home
