            G
    I have heard of a land on the faraway strand,
             C        G           D
    'tis a beautiful home of the soul,
              G
    built by Jesus on high, where we never shall die,
            C                D          G
    'tis a land where we'll never grow old.

 G               C         G                                      D
Never grow old, never grow old, in a land where we'll never grow old,
 G               C         G                           D         G
never grow old, never grow old, in a land where we'll never grow old.

             G
    In that beautiful home where we'll never more roam,
             C           G          D
    we shall be in the sweet by and by,
            G
    happy praise to the King through eternity sing,
            C             D           G
    'tis a land where we never shall die.

 G               C         G                                      D
Never grow old, never grow old, in a land where we'll never grow old,
 G               C         G                           D         G
never grow old, never grow old, in a land where we'll never grow old.

              G
    When our work here is done and the life-crown is won,
              C           G          D
    and our troubles and trials are o'er,
             G
    all our sorrow will end, and our voices will blend,
              C                 D        G
    with the loved ones who've gone on before.

 G               C         G                                      D
Never grow old, never grow old, in a land where we'll never grow old,
 G               C         G                           D         G
never grow old, never grow old, in a land where we'll never grow old.
