No Tears in Heaven

By Arthur V. Fox

ARTHUR V. FOX
WITH care-worn heart and throbbing brow I watched the orb of day, That set in tears behind the clouds That veiled its golden ray; And bending o’er the sacred page Of truth divinely given, I heard a loving voice that said, There’ll be no tears in heaven.
My thoughts grew calm, and, in a dream, Bright angels sang to me A choral song of Eden land Beyond the crystal sea; And though too soon its chords were lost, Its tones afar were driven, One hallowed strain I yet recall: There’ll be no tears in heaven.
No tears, no pain, no dreary night With starless gloom o’ercast, The joy our blessed Saviour gives Will there forever last. O eyes that weep, O hearts that mourn, By storm and tempest driven, Look up! look up! ’twill soon be o’er; There’ll be no tears in heaven.
