125. Where They Need No Sun

1 When my earthly day is waning
And my mortal robes I fold,
With the dawning of eternity begun;
I shall enter gates of pearl to walk on streets of shining gold,
In that city where they need no sun.

Refrain:
In that city where they need no sun,
When at last my earthly race is run,
I shall see my Savior’s face,
Revel in His love and grace
In that city where they need no sun.

2 O’er the fields of endless glory
I shall wander with delight,
For with sadness and with pain I shall be done;
No more sorrow, no more sickness in that home so pure and bright,
In that city where they need no sun! [Refrain]

3 With the countless blood-washed millions
I shall sing beyond the skies
Praise to God and to “The Lamb for sinners slain;”
As the sound of many waters this triumphant song shall rise,
And resound thro’out God’s vast domain. [Refrain]
