In the land of fadeless day by Hart Pease Danks — Lyrics
1 In the land of fadeless day
Lies the city foursquare;
It shall never pass away,
And there is no night there.
Refrain:
God shall wipe away all tears;
There's no death, no pain, nor fears;
And they count not time by years,
For there is no night there.
2 All the gates of pearl are made,
In the city foursquare;

About In the land of fadeless day
Hart Pease Danks' In the land of fadeless day is a hymn for SATB choir, set in English. It draws on the vivid imagery of Revelation 21 to paint a picture of the New Jerusalem. The text describes a city of eternal light, where 'God shall wipe away all tears; there's no death, no pain, nor fears.' The composer’s setting aims to convey the hopeful and serene message of the lyrics, contrasting earthly troubles with the peace and everlasting nature of the heavenly city. This sacred piece offers a comforting reflection on faith and the afterlife.
