37. No Night in Heaven

1 No night shall be in Heav'n--no gathering gloom
Shall o'er that glorious landscape ever come,
No tears shall fall in sadness o'er those flowers
That breathe their fragrance through celestial bow'rs.

2 No night shall be in Heav'n--no dreadful hour
Of mental darkness of the tempter's pow'r,
Across these skies no envious clouds shall roll,
To dim the sunlight of th' enraptured soul.

3 No night shall be in Heav'n. Forbid to sleep,
Those eyes no more their mournful vigils keep,
Their fountains dried, their tears all wiped away,
They gaze undazzled on eternal day.

4 No night shall be in Heav'n--no sorrow's reign,
No secret anguish, no corporeal pain,
No shivering limbs--no burning fever there--
No soul's eclipse--no winter of despair.

5 No night shall be in Heav'n, but endless noon,
No fast declining sun nor waning moon,
But there the Lamb shall yield perpetual light,
'Mid pastures green, and waters ever bright.
