NO NIGHT, NO SORROW, NO TEARS.
By Frances M. Hobart
There is no night there;
For our Saviour dear
Will illumine the earth with a light so clear
That the noontide ray, and the moon’s pale light,
Will be lost in the gleam of his countenance bright.
There is no night there! There is no sorrow there!
In Heaven above
All passions are banished, save love, divine love.
In ecstatic bliss we’ll stand round the throne,
And shout forth our joy in beautiful song.
There is no sorrow there! There are no tears there!
It is said Jesus wept,
And torrents of grief o’er his pure soul swept
Many times while on earth; but a promise is given,
And I know ’twill be so, there’ll be no tears in
Heaven.
No, no tears there!
