963. There never shall the sun go down

1 There never shall the sun go down
From the lamenting day;
There storms shall never rise to beat
The light of love away.

2 There living streams thro' deathless flowers
Are flowing free and wide;
There souls that thirsted here below
Drink, and are satisfied.

3 I know my longing shall be filled,
When this weak, wasting clay
Is folded like a garment, from
My soul, and laid away.

4 Oh, what a blissful heritage
On such as I to fall;
Possessed of thee, my Lord, my God,
I am possessed of all.
