Lyrics

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.
