When the Sun of My Life Goes Down

When my labor here is over at last and I lay these burdens down

I'll sail away home to Heaven above for my Savior I have found

I'll lay these burdens down at His feet and exchange them for a crown

I'll leave this world of trouble and sorrow when the sun of my life goes down

Oh Lord (oh Lord), I know (I know) I'm living on higher ground

I know (I know) because (because) in my heart's true love I've found

And when (and when) I hear (I hear) Gabriel's trumpet loudly sound

I'll leave this world of trouble and sorrow when the sun of my life goes down

To this changing world I bid farewell when I hear that trumpet sound

I'll sail away home to Heaven above for my Savior I have found

I've made my plans, I'm ready to go, I'll wear a robe and crown

And I'll meet my friends and loved ones up yonder when the sun of my life goes down

Oh Lord (oh Lord), I know (I know) I'm living on higher ground

I know (I know) because (because) in my heart's true love I've found

And when (and when) I hear (I hear) Gabriel's trumpet loudly sound

I'll leave this world of trouble and sorrow when the sun of my life goes down

Oh Lord (oh Lord), I know (I know) I'm living on higher ground

I know (I know) because (because) in my heart's true love I've found

And when (and when) I hear (I hear) Gabriel's trumpet loudly sound

(Gabriel's trumpet loudly sound)

I'll leave this world of trouble and sorrow when the sun of my life goes down

I'll leave this world of trouble and sorrow when the sun of my life goes down

My life goes down (the sun of my life goes down)
