Lyrics

To Canaan’s land I’m on my way,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies;
My dark­est night will turn to day,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies.

Refrain

Dear friends, there’ll be no sad fare­wells,
There’ll be no tear dimmed eyes,
Where all is peace and joy and love,
And the soul of man ne­ver dies.

A rose is bloom­ing there for me,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies;
And I will spend eter­ni­ty,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies.

Refrain

A love light beams across the foam,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies;
It shines to light the shores of home,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies.

Refrain

My life will end in death­less sleep,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies;
And ev­er­last­ing joys I’ll reap,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies.

Refrain

I’m on my way to that fair land,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies;
Where there will be no part­ing hand,
Where the soul of man ne­ver dies.
