Representative Text

1 O blessed home where those who meet
Shall never say goodbye;
Where kindred souls each other greet,
And never say goodbye.

Refrain:
We’ll never say goodbye,
We’ll never say goodbye;
In that fair land beyond the sky,
We’ll never say goodbye.

2 Beyond this vale of toil and care,
We’ll never say goodbye;
We part in tears on earth, but there—
We’ll never say goodbye. [Refrain]

3 When safe among the ransomed throng
We’ll never say goodbye;
Where life is one eternal song,
We’ll never say goodbye. [Refrain]

4 On yonder fair and peaceful shore—
We’ll never say goodbye;
But dwell with Christ forevermore,
And never say goodbye. [Refrain]
