Patty Griffin along with Buddy Miller sings this old hymn. It can be found on her "Downtown Church" CD and purchased from iTunes.
"WHERE WE'LL NEVER GROW OLD"
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death" (Rev. 21.4) In 1914, while a 26-year old seminary student at Mercer, James Cleveland Moore visited to preach in his home church at Draketown, where his aging father had led the singing for years. The elder Moore's voice failed him and the son said that he knew that he would not be hearing his father sing much longer. Back in school at Macon, James produced the hymn with the incident still fresh in his mind, and wrote, "Dedicated to My Father and Mother."
(Information obtained from a Hymn Studies website)
The lyrics:
I have heard of a land on the far away strand,
Tis a beautiful home of the soul;
Built by Jesus on high, where we never shall die,
Tis a land where we never grow old.
Refrain
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where well never grow old;
Never grow old, never grow old,
In a land where well never grow old.
In that beautiful home where well never more roam,
We shall be in the sweet by and by;
Happy praise to the King through eternity sing,
Tis a land where we never shall die.
Refrain
When our work here is done and the life crown is won,
And our troubles and trials are oer;
All our sorrow will end, and our voices will blend,
With the loved ones whove gone on before.
