What if our bark o’er life’s rough wave,
By adverse winds be driven,
And howling tempests ‘round us rave?
There are no tears in heaven.
What, though affliction be our lot,
Our hearts with anguish riven!
Still, let it never be forgot—
There are no tears in heaven.
Our sweetest joys here vanish all,
And fade like hues at even;
Our brightest hopes like meteors fall—
There are no tears in heaven.
Thou, God, our joy and rest shalt be,
And sorrow far be driven;
And sin and death forever flee;
There are no tears in heaven.
There, from the blooming tree of life,
The healing fruit is given;
There, there shall cease the painful strife;
There are no tears in heaven.
