No Tears in Heaven (Cummings)

No tears in Heav’n; as­sur­ance sweet

To hearts with sor­row worn;

Our hap­pi­ness is there com­plete

Without one cause to mourn.

No tears in Heav’n

no tears in Heav’n

No shade nor sor­row there;

O prince­ly bow­ers

O land of flow­ers

Jerusalem the Fair.

No tears in Heav’n; O trou­bled soul

The Sav­ior wept when here;

He knows how waves of ang­uish roll

To wring each bit­ter tear.

No tears in Heav’n; no vain re­gret

O’er quick be­set­ting sin;

Jesus hath wiped away our debt

And giv’n us Heav’n to win.

No tears in Heav’n; no part­ing there

From those we dear­ly love;

Death

ang­uished hearts

and deep des­pair

Reach not our home ab­ove.
