Re: Hymn sheet music
Hi Jlmiller,
Thanks so much for your question—and sorry for taking over a month to get back to you!
As tab2010 mentioned, Hymnary is great. But for me, my two go-to sources are Archive.org and Google Books.

Re: Somewhere beyond the sunset
Good news! I was able to find the lyrics. Here they are:
1.
Somewhere, beyond the sunset, A perfect realm is found
Where all earth's holy longings are fulfilled,
And endless joys abound.
Chorus
Somewhere, beyond the sunset, We'll see the Saviour we adore,
We'll fall in worship at His dear feet ...

Re: Lyric help needed . The Sweeter He Grows
One of my favorites, and so very meaningful and true.
A lot of people have the misconception that "serving God" is only something that ministers or church workers can do. That's not true, of course. Anyone who isn't serving themselves or serving Satan is serving God. Anyone who does even the ...
