First Line: No night is there
Last Line: Yes, christ is there!
Subject(s): Heaven; Paradise
No night is there!
Though here the night comes dank and chill
And shadows every corner fill,
The deathless morning comes at last
When all of time for me is past,
No night is there!
No pain is there!
Though here pains wrench this mortal frame
And men are sick and weak and lame,
In that fair land awaiting me
I shall from ills and pains be free,
No pain is there!
No tears are there!
Though here we miss the loved ones dear
And lonely are and often fear,
In heaven, our home, we'll meet them all
And answer once again their call,
No tears are there!
Our Christ is there!
He'll come and take us to himself,
And give to us for this world's pelf
A mansion made by his dear hand
And with us dwell in that fair land,
Yes, Christ is there!
