In the land of fadeless day
Lies “the city four-square;”
It shall never pass away,
And there is “no night there.”
			
			
			
			
				
			
			
		
		
		
		
			
			
				
				
				God shall “wipe away all tears;”
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears;
And they count not time by years,
For there is “no night there.”
				
				
				
			
				
		
			
			
			All the gates of pearl are made,
In “the city four-square;”
All the streets with gold are laid,
And there is “no night there.”
			
			
			
			
			
		
		
		
		
			
			
				
				
				God shall “wipe away all tears;”
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears;
And they count not time by years,
For there is “no night there.”
				
				
				
			
				
		
			
			
			And the gates shall never close
To “the city four-square;”
There life’s crystal river flows,
And there is “no night there.”
			
			
			
			
			
		
		
		
		
			
			
				
				
				God shall “wipe away all tears;”
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears;
And they count not time by years,
For there is “no night there.”
				
				
				
			
				
		
			
			
			There they need no sunshine bright,
In “that city four-square;”
For the Lamb is all the light,
And there is “no night there.”
			
			
			
			
			
		
		
		
		
			
			
				
				
				God shall “wipe away all tears;”
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears;
And they count not time by years,
For there is “no night there.”
