Subject: Lyr Add: THE UNCLOUDED DAY (Rev. J. K. Alwood)
What a wonderful old hymn! Try Stamps-Baxter's Heavenly Highway Hymns, compiled by Luther G. Presley of Pangburn, Arkansas. As a side note, he should be world famous (but isn't) as the man who wrote When The Saints Go Marching In.

Here we go, page 219.

The Unclouded Day words and melody by Rev. J. K. Alwood

O they tell me of a home far beyond the skies,
O they tell me of a home far away;
O they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an unclouded day.

Chorus
O the land of cloudless day,
O the land of an unclouded sky;
O they tell me of a home,
where no storm clouds rise,
O they tell me of an unclouded day.

O they tell me of a home where my friends have gone,
O they tell me of that land far away;
Where the tree of life in eternal bloom
Sheds its fragrance thru the unclouded day.

O they tell me of the King in His beauty there,
And they tell me that mine eyes shall behold,
Where He sits on the throne that is whiter than snow,
In the city that is made of gold.

O they tell me that he smiles on His children there,
And his smile drives their sorrows all away;
And they tell me that no tears ever come again,
In that lovely land of unclouded day.
