African American Heritage Hymnal ‎#591

591. Where We'll Never Grow Old

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

Refrain:
Never grow old, Where we'll never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old;
Never grow old, Where we'll never grow old,
In a land where we’ll never grow old.

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. [Refrain]

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