SUNDOWN
Words, Edith Sanford Tillotson; music, Londonderry Air, arr. Ira B. Wilson

There is a glen that lies beneath the hillcrest,
That looks across the valley and the town;
And there the light forever glows the softest in the west,
And longest waits before the sun goes down.

So if the day has made your soul grow weary,
And brought your eyes the shadow of a frown,
Go, climb the road that leads you to my highland glen,
And watch the clouds light up before the sun goes down.

The solemn peace that breathes upon the hillside,
Will heal the wounds, the fevers of the day;
And on the breeze that gently moves across the valley wide,
Each troubled thought will slowly fade away.

So if the day has made your soul grow weary,
And brought your eyes the shadow of a frown,
God, climb the road that leads you to my highland glen,
And watch the clouds light up before the sun goes down.

May life's whole span be just the rugged roadway
By which we reach the peaceful, sunlit height,
Where we can hear, like music, at the closing of the day,
God's word of old, that eventide brings light.

And tho' the day may make the soul grow weary,
May bring the eye the shadow of a frown,
We'll climb the road that leads us where His glories shine,
And see our clouds light up before life's sun goes down.
