89. No Tears up Yonder

1 No tears up yonder! God hath spoken!
No sin, no curse, no clouded way;
No heavy ladened, no heart broken!
Eternal life, eternal day!

Refrain:
No tears up yonder, no more sighing,
For sorrow there shall have no place;
There broken hearts are healed, and never
Shall shadow mar one smiling face.

2 No soul unblest that Isle embowers;
No longing there unsatisfied;
No falling leaves, no fading flowers,
No hope deferred, no joy denied. [Refrain]

3 No farewell there! O blessed morrow!
No going out again to roam;
No child of sin, no child of sorrow,
For there is love, and there is home. [Refrain]

4 No tears up yonder! all are nearer
Than here the nearest friend could be;
No dearest love will there be dearer—
But more than all is Christ to see. [Refrain]
