1. No farewell shall be uttered upon that Golden Shore,
Where friends a while asundered, shall me to part no more;
Before the blessed Dayspring, the shadows take their flight:
We’ll say a glad good-morning, but nevermore good-night.
Chorus:
Nevermore good-night,
(Never good-night, never good-night,)
Nevermore good-night;
(Never good-night, never good-night;)
O pure and radiant morning!
‘Twill burst upon our sight;
Nevermore good-night,
(Never good-night, never good-night,)
Nevermore good-night;
(Never good-night, never good-night;)
We’ll say a glad good-morning,
But, nevermore good-night.
2. Tho’ earthly ties are broken, they’ll be united there:
The flow’rs of God’s transplanting shall bloom in beauty rare;
Where his eternal gardens are shining fair and bright,
We’ll say a glad good-morning, but nevermore good-night.
3. O morning full of glory, whose sun shall ne’er go down!
We’ll lay aside our crosses, and take the starry crown;
In that celestial country the Lamb shall be the light:
We’ll say a glad good-morning, but nevermore good-night.
