Everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life.
John 6:40
Words & Music: James C. Moore, circa 1914 (🔊 pdf nwc). This song was apparently inspired by That Beautiful Land, which has very similar words & almost identical music.
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
