“No More Night”
by Walt Harrah
The timeless theme,
Earth and Heaven will pass away.
It's not a dream,
God will make all things new
that day.
Gone is the curse from which I stumbled and
fell.
Evil is banished to eternal hell.
No more night.
No more pain.
No more tears.
No more tears.
Never crying again.
Praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
See all around, now the nations bow down to sing.
The only sound is the praises to Christ, our
King.
Slowly the names from the book are read.
I know the King, so there's no need to dread.
No more night.
No more pain.
No more pain.
No more tears.
Never crying again.
Never crying again.
Praises to the great "I AM."
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
See over there,
it's a mansion, prepared for me,
it's a mansion, prepared for me,
Where I will live with my Savior eternally.
No more night.
No more pain.
No more tears.
Never crying again.
Never crying again.
Praises to the great I AM.
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
Hallelujah to the risen Lamb!
We will live in the light of the risen Lamb.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!
Hallelujah to the risen Lamb!
"Today I was doing a little cleaning and found a CD of the National Christian Choir. It has a song with a chorus that your mom told me helped her out when she thought about Adrienne’s death. You probably did not know this. The first two lines in particular were what she was referring to, "No more night. No more pain. No more tears. Never crying again…" Here they are, sung beautifully by the choir, probably including your mom’s voice."

Yes, my mother recorded this CD (Tenth Anniversary Recording) with the NCC, a mass choir based near Washington, D.C. She sang with them for many many years, even 20 years ago when my sister-in-law Adrienne passed away. When Mom died last month, these words were running through my head as a comfort. I can almost hear her own voice singing it to me. I just found the CD and transferred the song to my laptop and iPod.
The sunrise pictures in this post are from earlier posts on my main blog. I started a new job about two weeks ago and haven't had time to be taking lovely nature photos. I'll have to get back to that! I miss it keenly! Even more, I miss my mother! I can almost feel her kiss on my lips the last time I saw her.
Right now it is night in more ways than one. There is much to mourn. And yet daily life goes on here. My youngest daughters have both fallen asleep in my bedroom and it is time to send them to their own beds. Morning will be here soon; hopefully in more ways than one. Until then, it is good to cry.

Dear Virginia
ReplyDeleteYour post has touched me deeply today! I cling to that great promise every time I suffer bad Fibro pain! Praying for your Pappa God to comfort you as you miss your mother. I am so glad you know that one day you two will be together again.
