Where Jesus Is, There is No Night

Author: C. J. Butler Hymnal: The Old Story in Song Number Two #57 (1908) First Line: Sin’s gloomy night was o’er me spread Refrain First Line: There is no night, ‘tis passed away Lyrics: 1 Sin’s gloomy night was o’er me spread, Till light divine Christ on me shed; I sang as darkness took its flight: “Where Jesus is, there is no night.” Refrain: There is no night, ‘tis passed away, Since Jesus came with me to stay; My happy soul sings with delight: “Where Jesus is, there is no night.” 2 ‘Twas when my trusting heart believed, My Lord his wand’ring one received; Gave me to know, with saints in light: “Where Jesus is, there is no night.” [Refrain] 3 While journeying up life’s mountain slope, I smooth the way with Faith and Hope, Still singing as I near its height: “Where Jesus is, there is no night.” [Refrain] 4 This light that bids the shadows flee, Thro’ death’s dark vale my guide shall be; My soul shall sing with heav’n in sight: “Where Jesus is, there is no night.” [Refrain] Tune Title: [Sin’s gloomy night was o’er me spread]
