It Will Never Grow Old

Author: Rev. W. W. Baily Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.4 #123 (1894) First Line: O have you not heard of that country above Refrain First Line: ‘Twill always be new, it will never decay Lyrics: 1 O have you not heard of that country above, The name of its King and His infinite love? His children are deathless and happy, I’m told; Oh, will it abide—will we never grow old? Refrain: ‘Twill always be new, it will never decay; No night ever comes, it will always be day, It gladdens my heart with a joy that’s untold, To think of that land where we’ll never grow old. 2 That wonderful land has a city of life, Ne’er darkened with anguish, nor dying, nor strife; Its temples and streets are all flashing with gold, Oh, can it be true, will we never grow old? [Refrain] 3 A mansion of wonderful beauty is there, And Jesus that mansion has gone to prepare; Its bright jasper walls how I long to behold, And join in the song that will never grow old. [Refrain] 4 They tell me its friendships and love are so pure, Its joys never die, and its treasures are sure; And loved ones departed, so silent and cold, Will greet us again where we’ll never grow old. [Refrain] 5 In life’s weary conflicts, there’s fainting and care, Each year the gray deepens a shade in the hair; But in the blest book where my name is enrolled, I read of that land where we’ll never grow old. [Refrain] Tune Title: [O have you not heard of that country above]
