There Is No Night in Heaven

lyricist: Francis Knollis, 1859
Composer: Robert Jackson, 1888

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!
