Lyrics

O bless­èd home where those who meet
Shall nev­er say good­bye;
Where kin­dred souls each oth­er greet,
And nev­er say good­bye.

Refrain

We’ll nev­er say good­bye,
We’ll nev­er say good­bye;
In that fair land be­yond the sky,
We’ll nev­er say good­bye.

Beyond this vale of toil and care,
We’ll nev­er say good­bye;
We part in tears on earth, but there—
We’ll nev­er say good­bye

Refrain

When safe among the ran­somed throng
We’ll nev­er say good­bye;
Where life is one eter­nal song,
We’ll nev­er say good­bye.

Refrain

On yon­der fair and peace­ful shore,
We’ll nev­er say good­bye;
But dwell with Christ for­ev­er­more,
And nev­er say good­bye.
