“Though the clouds may hang over, there will be a brighter day; in the land, they call Heaven; God shall wipe all tears away. We shall behold the Lamb of God sitting on the Throne, there’ll be no more crying, no more weeping, trouble will be gone. Hallelujah, there’ll be joy forever more, when we reach that other shore”.
