There’ll Be No Sorrow There

There’ll be no night in Heav’n,
In that blest world above;
No anxious toil, no weary hours;
For labor there is love.

Refrain

There’ll be no sorrow there,
There’ll be no sorrow there,
In Heav’n above, where all is love,
There’ll be no sorrow there.

There’ll be no grief in Heav’n,
For life is one glad day,
And tears are those of former things
Which all have passed way.

Refrain

There’ll be no sin in Heav’n;
Behold that blessèd throng,
All holy in their spotless robes,
All holy in their song.

Refrain

Author: Fanny Crosby

Year: 1869

Commonly attributed to Fanny Crosby (Frances Jane Crosby, 1820–1915). The text first appeared in William B. Bradbury's 'Fresh Laurels' (New York, 1869). Some early printings list it only as 'C.' or anonymously, but hymnological sources overwhelmingly credit Crosby.
