lyrics

There no more parting, no more pain,
The distant ones brought near,
The lost so long are found again,
Long lost but longer dear:

Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard
Nor heart conceived that rest,
With them our good things long deferred,
With Jesus Christ our Best.
-
We weep because the night is long,
We laugh, for day shall rise,
We sing a slow contented song
And knock at Paradise.

"Watchman, what of the night?" we cry,
Heart-sick with hope deferred:
"No speaking signs are in the sky,"
Is still the watchman's word.

Weeping we hold Him fast Who wept
For us,—we hold Him fast;
And will not let Him go except
He bless us first or last.
