The New National Baptist Hymnal (21st Century Edition) ‎#470

470. God Shall Wipe All the Tears Away

1 Tho' the clouds may hover o'er us,
There's a bright and golden ray,
It's the promise that in heaven
God shall wipe all tears away.

Refrain:
When we reach that blessed homeland,
Where 'tis everlasting day,
On that bright eternal morning
God shall wipe all tears away.

2 No more sorrow, no more weeping,
Peace and joy shall hold full sway,
For beside life's crystal river
God shall wipe all tears away. [Refrain]

3 Ev'ry care will be forgotten,
All our burdens we shall lay,
Safe within the walls of jasper
God shall wipe all tears away. [Refrain]

4 O, the joy of meeting Jesus,
Mortal tongue cannot portray,
But we know when we behold Him
God shall wipe all tears away. [Refrain]
