No More Sorrow

Representative Text

1 There shall be no more crying,
There shall be no more pain,
There shall be no more dying,
There shall be no more stain.

Chorus:
Jesus, our watch we are keeping,
Longing for Thee to come;
Then shall be ended our night of weeping,
Then we shall reach our home.

2 Hearts that by death were riven,
Meet in eternal love;
Lives on the altar given,
Rise to their crowns above. [Chorus]

3 Satan shall tempt us never,
Sin shall o’ercome no more;
Joy shall abide for ever,
Sorrow and grief be o’er. [Chorus]

4 Hasten, sweet morn of gladness,
Hasten, dear Lord, we pray;
Finish this night of sadness,
Hasten the heav’nly day. [Chorus]
