NO NIGHT THERE.

By P. A. Clough

“And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign forever and ever.” Rev. 22: 5.

THERE'LL be no night, no darkness there, To dim our vision bright; In that bright world, so free from care, The Lord will be the light.

They need no candle, neither sun, To light that city fair; Where all is love, and joy, and peace, No gloom can enter there.

Within that city, they shall dwell Forever with the Lord, Who in this life have done his will— Been guided by his word.

Then, if we wish with Christ to stand On the immortal shore, With palms of victory in our hands Forever—evermore,

Let us each day apply the rule That God to us has given To measure life, correct our faults, And guide us safe to Heaven.

Obedience to the law of God, And faith in his dear Son, Will gain for us eternal life, When our work on earth is done.

Be patient, then, the time is near When toil will be o'er; Then in a land of perfect rest, We'll reign forevermore.

P. A. CLOUGH. Dyer Brook, Jan. 24, 1873.
