No Tears in Heaven

Skeeter Davis · Hand in Hand With Jesus (RCA Victor) [1967]

(Robert S. Arnold)



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 bear) no tears (no tears up there)

Sorrow and pain will all have blown

No tears (in heaven bear) no tears (no tears up there)

No tears in heaven will be known.



--- Instrumental ---



Glory is waiting waiting up yonder

Where we shall spend an endless day

There with our Saviour we'll be forever

Where no more sorrow can dismay.



No tears (in heaven bear) no tears (no tears up there)

Sorrow and pain will all have blown

No tears (in heaven bear) no tears (no tears up there)

No tears in heaven will be known.



No tears in heaven will be known...
