Land of No More Night

He’s bathing the whole world in light
Life from His throne in Heaven sings
Live in the land of no more night

Soon we’ll rise up and take that flight
The song through all creation rings
He’s bathing the whole world in light

Sometimes life seems like such a fight
But rewards and blessings that it brings
Live in the land of no more night

Where everything is made just right
Your life is full of Heaven’s things
He’s bathing the whole world in light

I’ll not turn away from Heaven’s sight
Come be with me where true life rings
Live in the land of no more night

Go to the Lord who made it right
Created by the light God brings
Rest in God’s peace in living light
All darkness gone and no more night
