There is no night in heaven;
in that blest world above
work never can bring weariness,
for work itself is love.
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 sin in heaven;
behold that blessèd throng:
all holy is their spotless robe,
all holy is their song!
There is no death in heaven;
for they who gain that shore
have won their immortality,
and they can die no more.
Lord Jesus, be our Guide;
O lead us safely on,
till night and grief and sin and death
are past, and heaven is won!
