Dan C. Bailey
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).
The Peace of the Sunset
The peace of the sunset
Lies in the soul,
Of the one cleansed by Jesus,
Washed and made whole.
Beyond understanding
As vast as the seas;
A peace that will comfort,
A peace that will free.
For Jesus our Savior
Came down from above,
To give us the gift of
The Father's great love.
So when you lie down
For your rest from the day,
May the peace of the sunset
Be your comfort and stay!
A hymn that we sing expresses the eternal peace that can be ours after death.
Beyond The Sunset
Beyond the sunset, O blissful morning
When with our Saviour heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended, O glorious dawning
Beyond the sunset when day is done.
Beyond the sunset, no clouds will gather
No storms will threaten, no fears annoy
O day of gladness, O day unending
Beyond the sunset eternal joy.
Beyond the sunset, a hand will guide me
To God the Father whom I adore
His glorious presence, His words of welcome
Will be my portion on that fair shore.
Beyond the sunset, O glad reunion
With our dear loved ones who've gone before
In that fair homeland we'll know no parting
Beyond the sunset forever more...

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).
