Verse 1
I have heard of a land
On the far away strand,
’Tis a beautiful home of the soul;
Built by Jesus on high, (John 14:2-3)
Where we never shall die, (Rev. 21:4, John 11:26)
’Tis a land where we never grow old.
Chorus
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old;
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old.
Verse 2
In that beautiful home
Where we’ll never more roam,
We shall be in the sweet by and by;
Happy praise to the King
Through eternity sing,
’Tis a land where we never shall die. (Rev. 21:4, John 11:26)
Verse 3
When our work here is done (II Tim. 4:7-8, Acts 20:24)
And the life crown is won, (James 1:12, Rev. 2:10)
And our troubles and trials are o’er; (Rev. 21:4)
All our sorrow will end, (Isa. 25:8, Rev. 7:17, Rev. 21:4, Isa. 35:10, Isa. 51:11)
And our voices will blend,
With the loved ones who’ve gone on before.
