Lyrics

I have heard of a land
On the far away strand,
’Tis a beau­ti­ful home of the soul;
Built by Je­sus on high,
Where we ne­ver shall die,
’Tis a land where we ne­ver grow old.

Refrain

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.

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.

Refrain

When our work here is done
And the life crown is won,
And our trou­bles and tri­als are o’er;
All our sor­row will end,
And our voic­es will blend,
With the loved ones who’ve gone on be­fore.

Refrain
