Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #81 (1904) First Line: 'Tis sweet to think, as night comes on Lyrics: 1 'Tis sweet to think, as night comes on, Dark and drear, E'er stars come twinkling one by one Earth to cheer, There is a world where comes no night, It needs no sun or moon to light, For Jesus' presence makes it bright. No night there. Chorus: No night there, No night there, For Jesus' presence makes it bright; No night there. 2 'Tis sweet to think, when round us lie Grief and care, That Jesus hears the softest sigh Breathed in prayer; And if we love him we shall see That land from sin and sorrow free, And O we know that there will be No night there. [Chorus] 3 'Tis sweet to think that we shall be Free from sin, When thro' the shining portals we Enter in, Behold the Lamb upon the throne, Be claimed by Jesus as his own, In heav'n where sorrow is unknown. No night there. [Chorus] Tune Title: ['Tis sweet to think, as night comes on]
