135. We'll Never Say Good By

1 Our friends on earth we meet with pleasure,
While swift the moments fly,
Yet ever comes the thought of sadness
That we must say good by.

Chorus:
We'll never say good by in heaven,
We'll never say good by,
For in that land of joy and song
We'll never say good by.
We'll never say good by in heaven,
We'll never say good by,
For in that land of joy and song
We'll never say good by.

2 How joyful is the thought that lingers,
When loved ones cross death's sea,
That when our labors here are ended,
With them we'll ever be. [Chorus]

3 No parting words shall e'er be spoken
In that bright land of flowers,
But songs of joy, and peace, and gladness,
Shall evermore be ours. [Chorus]
