Where They Never Say “Good-bye”

Author: Rev. A. H. Ackley Hymnal: Rodeheaver's Gospel Songs for church, Sunday Schools and evangelistic services #140 (1922) First Line: There's a land where the birds are ever singing Refrain First Line: In the land where they never say goodbye Lyrics: 1 There’s a land where the birds are ever singing, Where the flow’rs in their beauty never fade, Where the joy bells of love are ever ringing, And no evil shall ever dare invade. Refrain: In the land where they never say goodbye, No sad partings, for none shall ever die, shall ever die; We shall sing the same old story, We shall wear a crown of glory, In the land where they never say goodbye. 2 We shall tell of the way that we have traveled, When at last we shall enter heaven’s door, And the problems of life will be unraveled, When we meet on that bright eternal shore. [Refrain] 3 We shall gaze on His face in adoration, Joy resplendent shall thrill our souls anew, As we crown Him the King of our salvation, And eternity’s glories come to view. [Refrain] Tune Title: [There’s a land where the birds are ever singing]
