Are There No Years in Heaven?

Are there no years in Heav’n?

No change of day and night?

No roll­ing sea­sons’ var­ied hues

To mark time’s on­ward flight?

No: Time it­self must fade

And New Years’ Days shall cease

When all God’s child­ren meet on high

To hail the Prince of Peace.

His realm is end­less rest

And per­fect ho­li­ness!

No cares shall cloud

no sor­row dim

That home of love­li­ness.

In His great name we raise

Our New Year’s song to Heav­en;

To praise our Fa­ther’s bound­less love

And ask to be for­giv­en.

Savior

be Thou our trust

Our dai­ly

hour­ly friend;

Unite our hearts in love to Thee—

The love which knows no end.

So may our lives on earth

Made hap­py by Thy grace

Be fore­tastes of a fair­er home—

A heav­en­ly dwell­ing place.
