Thread Name: Origins: City Four Square / No Night There
Subject: Lyr. Add: No Night There
NO NIGHT THERE
John R. Clements, 1899; Music Hart P. Danks

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."
3
All the gates shall never close*
To "the city foursquare,"
There life's crystal river flows,
And there is "no night there."
4
There they need no sunshine bright,
In "that city foursquare,"
For the Lamb is all the light,
And there is "no night there."

Midi and score at nethymnal:
No Night There
