THEY WEEP NO MORE.
They weep no more, the glorified,
For whom Heaven's gates have opened wide;
Upon the river's peaceful shore,
Before the throne, they weep no more.
For whom Heaven's gates have opened wide;
Upon the river's peaceful shore,
Before the throne, they weep no more.
They weep no more, in cloudless day
Their tears forever wiped away;
Their sorrows past, their heartaches o'er,
Their fears forgot, they weep no more.
Their tears forever wiped away;
Their sorrows past, their heartaches o'er,
Their fears forgot, they weep no more.
They weep no more, in Heaven's bright clime,
Who measure not the lapse of time;
While He, who all their burden bore,
Is in their midst, they weep no more.
Who measure not the lapse of time;
While He, who all their burden bore,
Is in their midst, they weep no more.
They weep no more, ah! would we weep,
Could we unveil Life's mystery deep,
And catch one passing glimpse before,
Of those we wept, who weep no more?
Could we unveil Life's mystery deep,
And catch one passing glimpse before,
Of those we wept, who weep no more?
Life's ills, how trifling would they grow,
How transient every earthly woe;
Our faith on wings of song would soar,
And join with theirs, to weep no more.
How transient every earthly woe;
Our faith on wings of song would soar,
And join with theirs, to weep no more.
