EARLY ADVENT
SDAH 443
There’ll be no night in heaven,
In that blest world above;
No anxious toil, no weary hours;
For labor there is love.
Text
1
There’ll be no night in heaven,
In that blest world above;
No anxious toil, no weary hours;
For labor there is love.
Refrain
There’ll be no sorrow there,
There’ll be no sorrow there;
In heaven above, where all is love,
There’ll be no sorrow there.
2
There’ll be no grief in heaven;
For life is one glad day,
And tears are those of former things
Which all have passed away.
3
There’ll be no sin in heaven;
Behold that blessed throng,
All holy in there spotless robes,
All holy in their song.

Recommended Reading
Miller gained a huge following which came to be called, the ‘Millerites.’ Great Tent meetings were set up, and the progressing movement saw the need to provide new hymns. Sure, they had songs that they were singing from the churches they belonged to, but none that supported the distinct messages that was being preached such as the judgment, second advent, reward of the saints and the midnight cry. As a result, hymns were compiled and the first Millerite hymnal was born.
