Slim Whitman wrote many secular songs that are familiar to us. He had a great career in the U.S.A. before he went abroad and became even more famous.
I have heard this song, “Sunrise,” at many funerals through the years. And I’ve heard it at regular worship services also. It was very popular in churches for a long time.
When Jesus calls us home and we live in Heaven with Him, it will be like a new day for us. When Jesus welcomes us home, it will be sunrise for us.
Words and Music by Slim Whitman 1923-2013 When I shall come to the end of my way Then I shall rest at the close of life’s day When “welcome home” I shall hear Jesus say Oh, that will be sunrise for me Chorus: Sunrise tomorrow, Sunrise tomorrow Sunrise in glory is waiting for me Sunrise tomorrow, Sunrise tomorrow Sunrise with Jesus for eternity When life is over and daylight has passed And in Heavens harbor my anchor is cast Then I’ll see Jesus my Savior at last Oh, that will be sunrise for me |
