Never Grow Old

"Never Grow Old" usually refers to an old Southern Gospel song of the same name, technically called "Where We'll Never Grow Old", written by James C. Moore on April 22, 1914. It has been included on many religious-themed audio compilations, and has been covered by many singers. Library of Congress dates the song to 1879 and credits William Pond.

Lyrics

VERSE 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.

CHORUS:

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.

VERSE 2:

In that beautiful home

Where we'll nevermore 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.

VERSE 3:

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.
