NO SHADOWS THERE! They joyfully behold Him!
No cloud to dim their vision of His face!
No jarring note to mar the holy rapture,
The perfect bliss of that most blessed place.
NO BURDENS THERE! These all are gone forever
No weary nights, no long or dragging days;
No sighing’s there, or secret, silent longings,
For all is now unutterable praise.
NO CONFLICTS THERE! No evil hosts assailing!
Such warfare past—forever made to cease;
No tempter’s voice is heard within those portals;
No foe lurks there to break the perfect peace.
NO SORROWS THERE! No sadness and no weeping! Tears wiped away—all radiant now each face;
Music and song, in happy, holy blending,
Fill all the courts of that sweet resting place.
The light of heaven is the face of Jesus.
The joy of heaven is the presence of Jesus.
The melody of heaven is the Name of Jesus.
The harmony of heaven is the praise of Jesus.
The theme of heaven is the work of Jesus.
The employment of heaven is the service of Jesus.
The way to heaven is the blood of Jesus.
The fullness of heaven is Jesus Himself.”
