No more sorrow, no more crying.

No more death, no more sighing.

All our tears are wiped away.

With our Lord, eternal day.

 

He’s the light, He’s the lamb.

He’s eternal God, I AM.

No more fears, no more night.

In that city He’s the light.

 

No more illness, no more pain.

Everything will be made plain.

Eternal home, streets of gold.

We will never more grow old.

 

Friends of old, mansions bright,

Sin is gone, all is right.

Battles o’er, vict’ry won,

Crowned the King is God’s own Son.

 

Knees shall bow, His name confessed.

In white robes the saints are dressed.

Gates of pearls, endless days,

To our Lord, eternal praise.  

 

Tree of life, crystal fount,

The great King is paramount.

Corruption gone, no graveyard,

Sin and Satan will be barred.

 

Nail-pierced hands, pierced side,

Christ’s own sinless, spotless bride.

By His blood we’re justified,

Earthly bodies glorified.

 

Satan cast to the abyss.

Joy and peace for all is bliss.

Gone forever sin and pride,

Jesus Christ is magnified.

 

Trumpet sound, home at last,

At His feet our crowns are cast.

We don’t know it may be near,

When our Savior will appear.

 

Have you been washed in the flood,

At the cross in Jesus’ blood?

Salvation’s gift you can claim,

If you’ll call upon His name.
