No Sorrow There

Verse 1

No sorrow there in yonder clime, Beyond the troubled waves of time; No dreary nights nor weeping eyes, No aching hearts, nor broken ties.

Chorus

O perfect rest, O calm repose, Where life's clear stream in beauty flows! And we can sing, without a care, No sorrow there, no sorrow there.

Verse 2

Ah, who would dwell forever here, Away from those we hold so dear— Away from Him whose wondrous love Prepares for us a home above?

Verse 3

A little while our watch to keep, A little while to wake and sleep, To bear the cross, endure the pain— And then with Christ forever reign.
