NO NIGHT THERE.

By Mrs. Susan Birdsall Roberts

BY MRS. SUSAN BIRDSALL ROBERTS.
NO NIGHT! No night! How blessed the days, With no dark shadows interlaced, No twilight merging into gloom, No sunsets fading all too soon, Nor yet oppressive, sultry noon, No threatening clouds by tempest chased.
No night! No night! All tranquil days, Transcendent light, a sacred chain, Link after link, each locked in each, As through eternity they reach, Mid hallelujah's loud acclaim.
No night! No night of sorrow there, No midnight cry for dawn of day, For day shall dawn upon the soul, Nor ever cease, but onward roll, Nor lose in night one cheering ray.
No night! No night with mantle dark To cover sin. No sin to hide! Ecstatic thought! No ill to shun, But only endless day begun! With Christ in heaven for aye to abide.
No night! No night! No traveler Shall grope about to find his way; For o'er the fields of living green Shall holy radiance glow, and gleam From the sweet face, and form, and mien Of Him whose "visage marred" is seen All glorious now, "The Light" of day.
