  			                 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.
