No Depression in Heaven
Seeking Refuge Beyond Despair
Lyrics
For fear the hearts of men are failing,
Expressing concern that people's hearts are losing hope or courage.
For these are latter days we know
Acknowledging that the current times are challenging and difficult.
The Great Depression now is spreading,
Referring to the widespread economic hardship of the Great Depression.
God's word declared it would be so
Attributing the economic downturn to a divine proclamation.
I'm going where there's no depression,
Expressing a desire to go to a place without emotional or financial distress.
To the lovely land that's free from care
Describing a beautiful, carefree land as the destination.
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,
Expressing a wish to leave behind the troubles and hardships of the world.
My home's in Heaven, I'm going there
Stating a belief in a heavenly home as the ultimate destination.
In that bright land, there'll be no hunger,
Imagining a place where there is no hunger or scarcity of food.
No orphan children crying for bread,
Envisioning a world where children are not left without parental care and support.
No weeping widows, toil or struggle,
Describing a place without the hardships of grieving widows and daily struggles.
No shrouds, no coffins, and no death
Portraying a place free from death and its associated rituals.
I'm going where there's no depression,
Reiterating the desire to go to a place without emotional or financial distress.

This dark hour of midnight nearing

And tribulation time will come

The storms will hurl in midnight fear

And sweep lost millions to their doom
