(“No Night in Heaven!” George Conder, 1821-1874)
“No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be NO more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign forever and ever!” Revelation 22:3-5
This vision of Heaven, how wondrous it is! What a contrast to this poor earth of ours. Streets of gold, and seas of glass, and pearly gates, and rivers and trees of life–in exchange for this vile dust and dross, and worthless ugliness, and for these fruits of pain and death!
A realm of splendid light, without a sun!
A world, without a sea!
Bodies, without pain!
Faces, with no tears and no furrows of grief!
Hearts, without sighs!
Duration, without mutation and reverse!
Life, without age or decay!
No death! Creatures, but no death!
Day, bright, blazing, gorgeous day–but no night!

“I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far!” Philippians 1:23
Once departed from this poor world, every true believer will regard himself as the greatest monument of mercy and grace that is to be found in Heaven!
Only then will each glorified saint fully understand:
what a vile sinner he once was,
and now is by sovereign grace,
what a precious Savior he now has,
and accursed Hell he was delivered from, and
what a glorious eternal inheritance he now has!
O! what songs of praise and thanksgiving will he then pour forth to God and to the Lamb forever!
Revelation 5:12-13, “In a loud voice they sang:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!
To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb, be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
“And so we will be with the Lord forever!” 1 Thessalonians 4:17
When life’s journey is over,
And I the dear Savior shall see,
I’ll praise Him for ever and ever,
For saving a sinner like me!
Charles Butler
