1 Now our eyes are often dim,
Tear-stained with the trials of life,
But we know that when Christ comes,
There’ll be no more of pain nor strife.

Refrain:
God shall wipe away all tears,
God shall wipe away all tears,
And when He comes again,
There’ll be no weeping then,
For God shall wipe away all tears.

2 Hearts are broken ev’rywhere,
Sin has marred and scarred our way;
Soon we’ll meet Him in the sky,
No more of sin on that glad day. [Refrain]

3 Saddened then by dear ones lost,
Taken from this earthly fold;
Oh! what joy ‘twill be up there,
To meet them on the streets of gold. [Refrain]
