Light and Life Songs No. 3 ‎#8

8. Never Part Again

There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.

Chorus:
We’re marching thro’ Immanuel’s ground,
And soon we’ll hear the trumpet sound,
And then we shall with Jesus reign
And never, never part again.
What, never part again?
No, never part again,
What, never part again?
No, never part again,
And then we shall with Jesus reign
And never, never part again.

There everlasting spring abides,
And never-with’ring flow’rs;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav’nly land from ours.

Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.

O could we make our doubts remove
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And see the Canaan tat we love,
With unbeclouded days.

Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore.
