LyicsThere is no night in heaven;
In that blest world a-bove
Work ne-ver can bring wea-ri-ness,
For work it-self is love.
CHO.- No night, no grief, no care,
No want, no sin, no pain;
And with the Lord for-ev-er there,
The right-eous shall re-main.
There is no night in heaven;
Yet night-ly round the bed
Of ev-ery Christian wan-der-er
Faith has an an-gel tread.
There is no grief in heaven:
For life is one glad day,
And tears are of those former things
Which all have passed away.
There is no grief in heaven:
Yet angels from on high,
On golden pinions earthward glide,
The Christian's tears to dry.
There is no want in heaven:
The Lamb of God supplies
Life's tree of twelvefold fruitage still,
Life's spring which never dries.
There is no want in heaven:
Yet in a desert land
The fainting prophet was sustained
And fed by angel's hand.
There is no sin in heaven!
Behold that blessed throng;
All holy is their spotless robes,
All holy is their song.
There is no sin in heaven:
Here who from sin is free?
Yet angels aid us in our strife
For Christ's true liberty.
There is no death in heaven:
For they who gain that shore
Have won their immortality,
And they can die no more.
