About this hymn

Revelation 21:3 says, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people”. Scripture's journey from Eden arrives here, with God coming to live among people rather than people returning to heaven. Revelation 22:5 adds, “There will be no night”. Keep one thing central when singing this kind of song: the content of hope is his presence there, beyond the place's attractions. It suits memorials and year-end Sundays on the last things. For someone accompanying a dying relative, it may speak more concretely than many comforting remarks.

When to use this hymn

Memorials, funerals and year-end Sundays on the last things; accompanying brothers and sisters facing death or bereavement.
