NO NIGHT IN HEAVEN

“No night shall be in heaven; no gathering gloom Shall o’er that glorious landscape ever come: No tears shall fall in sadness o’er those flowers That breathe their fragrance through celestial bowers.”
“No night shall be in heaven; forbid to sleep, These eyes no more their mournful vigils keep; Their fountains dried, their tears all wiped away, They gaze undazzled on eternal day.”
“No night shall be in heaven, no sorrow reign, No secret anguish, no corporeal pain, No shivering limbs, no burning fever there, No soul’s eclipse, no winter of despair.”
“No night shall be in heaven, but endless noon: No fast-declining sun, no waning moon; But there the Lamb shall yield perpetual light ’Mid pastures green and waters ever bright.”
“No night shall be in heaven: no darkened room, No bed of death, nor silence of the tomb, But breezes ever fresh with love and truth Shall brace the frame with an immortal youth.”
“No night shall be in heaven. O had I faith To rest in what the faithful Witness saith, That faith should make these hideous phantoms flee, And leave no night henceforth on earth to me.”
