Hymn

No Night There

John R. Clements

Metre 7.6.7.6. with refrain

In the land of fadeless day

Lies the "city four-square,"

It shall never pass away,

And there is "no night there."

God shall "wipe away all tears;"

There's no death, no pain, nor fears;

And they count not time by years,

For there is "no night there."

All the gates of pearl are made,

In the "city four-square,"

All the streets with gold are laid,

And there is "no night there."

God shall "wipe away all tears;"

There's no death, no pain, nor fears;

And they count not time by years,

For there is "no night there."

And the gates shall never close

To the "city four-square,"

There life's crystal river flows,

And there is "no night there."

God shall "wipe away all tears;"

There's no death, no pain, nor fears;

And they count not time by years,

For there is "no night there."

There they need no sunshine bright,

In that "city four-square,"

For the Lamb is all the light,

And there is "no night there."

God shall "wipe away all tears;"

There's no death, no pain, nor fears;

And they count not time by years,

For there is "no night there."
