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 street with gold is laid,
And 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.”
There they need no sunshine bright
In “the city four-square,”
For the Lamb is all the light.
And there is “no night there.”
