No Night in Heaven

Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #160 (1890) First Line: No night shall be in heaven; no gathering gloom Refrain First Line: No night, no night shall be in heaven Lyrics: 1 No night shall be in heaven; no gathering gloom Shall o'er that glorious landscape ever come; No tears shall fall in sadness o'er those flowers That breathe their fragrance thro' celestial bowers. Refrain: No night, no night shall be in heaven; No night, no night shall be in heaven. No night, no night shall be in heaven; No night, no night shall be in heaven. 2 No night shall be in heaven; no dreadful hour Of mental darkness of the tempter's power; Across those skies no envious clouds shall roll, To dim the sunlight of the raptured soul. [Refrain] 3 No night shall be in heaven, but endless noon; No fast declining sun, no waning moon; But there the Lamb shall ever shed His light. 'Mid pastures green and waters ever bright.

No Night in Heaven

Hymnal: The Silver Chime #37 (1862) First Line: No night shall be in Heav'n--no gathering gloom Lyrics: 1 No night shall be in Heav'n--no gathering gloom Shall o'er that glorious landscape ever come, No tears shall fall in sadness o'er those flowers That breathe their fragrance through celestial bow'rs. 2 No night shall be in Heav'n--no dreadful hour Of mental darkness of the tempter's pow'r, Across these skies no envious clouds shall roll, To dim the sunlight of th' enraptured soul. 3 No night shall be in Heav'n. Forbid to sleep, Those eyes no more their mournful vigils keep, Their fountains dried, their tears all wiped away, They gaze undazzled on eternal day. 4 No night shall be in Heav'n--no sorrow's reign, No secret anguish, no corporeal pain, No shivering limbs--no burning fever there-- No soul's eclipse--no winter of despair. 5 No night shall be in Heav'n, but endless noon, No fast declining sun nor waning moon, But there the Lamb shall yield perpetual light, 'Mid pastures green, and waters ever bright. Tune Title: [No night shall be in Heav'n--no gathering gloom]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[No night shall be in heaven; no gathering gloom]" in Songs of Salvation William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "No Night in Heaven" in Golden Grain In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
