Timeless Truths ‎#499

499. No Night There

1 In the land of fadeless day
Lies the city foursquare;
It shall never pass away,
And there is no night there.

Refrain:
God shall wipe away all tears,
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears,
And they count not time by years,
For there is no night there.

2 All the gates of pearl are made,
In the city foursquare;
All the streets with gold are laid,
And there is no night there. [Refrain]

3 All the gates shall never close
To the city foursquare;
There life’s crystal river flows,
And there is no night there. [Refrain]

4 There they need no sunshine bright,
In that city foursquare;
For the Lamb is all the light,
And there is no night there. [Refrain]
