117. We'll Never Say Good-By

1 With friends on earth we meet in gladness,
While swift the moments fly,
Yet ever comes the tho't of sadness,
That we must say, "Good-by."

Chorus:
We'll never say good-by in heav'n,
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 heav'n,
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 hope that lingers,
When loved ones cross death's sea,
That we, when all earth's toils are ended,
With them shall ever be. [Chorus]

3 No parting words shall e'er be spoken
In yonder home so fair,
But songs of joy, and peace, and gladness,
We'll sing forever there. [Chorus]
