Fills all the wide domain:
No pain, No pain in yonder home.

3. No death in yonder home;
No parting hour of gloom;
Death lies dead in the tomb,

No death, No death in yonder home.

4. Clasping again our own,
Knowing as we are known,
Walking no more alone,
Hail sinless Eden years!
No tears, No tears in yonder home.
