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.
