Endless day shall banish night;
Darkness ne'er can cross its portals,
For the Lamb shall be the light.

There shall be no night in heaven,
There shall be no darkness there;
Glory, glory, be to Jesus
For his sunshine ev'rywhere.
2 In that land of golden sunlight,
We shall meet those gone before,
And shall join in that glad chorus,
Praising God for evermore. [Refrain]

E'er shall reach that land on high,
And the ransomed shall be gathered
To that home beyond the sky. [Refrain] Topics: Book Four: Occasional Selections, Gospel Songs and Hymns; Heaven Desire, Hope, Prospect for Scripture: Revelation 21:23 Languages: English Tune Title: NO NIGHT IN HEAVEN
