There
is a wondrous city, beautiful, bright and fair; The throne of God is in it
and the glory of God is there. And oh, the joy of knowing, as the Lord's redeemed
can know, While through the tribulations of the earthly life they go, There
shall be no more toiling; there shall be no more care; There shall be no more
burdens, grievous and hard to bear; There shall be no more crying, hunger,
thirst, or fears; There shall be no more heartache, through the eternal years! And
in the wondrous city there shall be no more night; Forever and forever the
Lamb shall be its light; And oh, the joy of knowing, as the Lord's redeemed
can know, While through the dark and dangers of the earthly life they go, There
shall be no more trouble; there shall be no more wrong; There shall be no more
sighing, stilling the glory-song; There shall be no more sorrow, for God shall
dry all tears; There shall be no more sinning, through the eternal years! Blessed
are they who love Him and they who keep His Word; They shall enter into the
city to dwell in the house of the Lord; And oh, the joy of knowing, as the
Lord's redeemed can know, While often sad and lonely, through this earthly
life they go, There shall be no more sickness; there shall be no more pain; There
shall be no more parting, loved from the loved again; There shall be no more
weeping, kneeling beside earth's biers; There shall be no more dying, through
the eternal years! Annie

Revelation
21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation
22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb
shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his
face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be
no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the
Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. |
