I have this one in my harvesting bin, but I don't see that it has ever been posted. Maybe the search isn't working.

NEVER GROW OLD
(Words & Music: James Cleveland Moore, 1930)

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.

Refrain

Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we'll never grow old;
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where we'll never grow old.

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.

Refrain

When our work here is done and our 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.


Moore was a singing teacher in Spaulding County, Georgia. "Heavenly Highway Hymns" shows the copyright date as 1930, but some sources show it as early as 1914.
