No Tears In Heaven

Revelation 21:4

There is a old hymn from my childhood that is not often, if ever, sung in contemporary worship that speaks about how there will be no tears in the new Jerusalem.  In the Holy City of God where He will make His dwelling among us, “He will wipe every tear from [our] eyes.”  Death, pain, and sorrow will be forever replaced with eternal life, comfort, and joy.  Never again will tears be shed over our sinfulness, for we will have regained God’s favor and the reward He promised the faithful will be realized (Jeremiah 31:16).

Although we still weep while we wait for Jesus to return, this old hymn is a encouraging reminder that when our wait is over, eternal and everlasting joy is all we will know.

No Tears In Heaven

by Tennessee Ernie Ford

No tears in heaven, no sorrows given.
All will be glory in that land;
There'll be no sadness, all will be gladness,
When we shall join that happy band.

No tears (in heaven fair).
No tears, no tears up there,
Sorrow and pain will all have flown;
No tears (in heaven fair).
No tears, no tears up there;
No tears in heaven will be known.

Glory is waiting, waiting up yonder,
Where we shall spend an endless day;
With Christ our Savior, we'll be forever,
Where sorrow no more can dismay.

No tears (in heaven fair).
No tears, no tears up there,
Sorrow and pain will all have flown;
No tears (in heaven fair).
No tears, no tears up there;
No tears in heaven will be known.
