Subject: Lyr Add: WHERE WE'LL NEVER GROW OLD
Where We'll Never Grow Old is a gospel song by James C. Moore from the early 1920s. Frequently called "Land Where We'll Never Grow Old" it was first recorded by the Jenkins Family in 1926; the Carters made the 14th country recording of it in 1932.

WHERE WE'LL NEVER GROW OLD- Carter Family 1932

I have heard of a land on the far away 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

Never grow old, never grow old
In the land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In the 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 the land where we never shall die

When our work here is done and the life crown is won
And out troubles and trials are o'er
All our sorrows will end and our voices will blend
With the loved ones who've gone on before
