Lyrics

Shadows nev­er dark­en Heav­en,
Endless day shall ban­ish night;
Darkness ne’er can cross its por­tals,
For the Lamb shall be the light.

Refrain

There shall be no night in Heav­en,
There shall be no dark­ness here;
Glory, glo­ry be to Je­sus
For His sun­shine ev­ery­where.

In that land of gold­en sun­light,
We shall meet those gone be­fore,
And shall join in that glad chor­us,
Praising God for­ev­er­more.

Refrain

Neither pain nor death nor sor­row
E’er shall reach that land on high,
And the ran­somed shall be ga­thered
To that home be­yond the sky.
