1. A land by faith I see,
Where saints shall ever be
Free from mortality,
No dying there.

Chorus:
No dying there,
No dying there,
In that fair, heav'nly land,
No dying there,
no dying there.

2. There friends shall meet again,
In happiness to reign;
While thro' that blest domain,
No dying there. [Chorus]

3. There sorrow cannot stay;
There tears are wiped away;
One bright, eternal day,
No dying there. [Chorus]

4. O, land of beauty rare,
Free from earth blight and care,
Thy bliss I long to share,
No dying there. [Chorus]

5. For such a priceless boon,
Who would not seek that home?
Safe from the dreaded tomb,
No dying there. [Chorus]

6. For thee, sweet home, I wait;
Come, and my soul elate;
Welcome, O deathless state,
No dying there. [Chorus]
