To Canaan’s land I’m on my way,
Where the soul never dies;
My darkest night will turn to day,
Where the soul never dies.
2
A rose is blooming there for me,
Where the soul never dies;
And I will spend eternity,
Where the soul never dies.
3
A love light beams across the foam,
Where the soul never dies;
It shines to light the shores of home,
Where the soul never dies.
4
My life will end in deathless sleep,
Where the soul never dies;
And everlasting joys I’ll reap,
Where the soul of man never dies.
5
I’m on my way to that fair land,
Where the soul of man never dies;
Where there will be no parting hand,
Where the soul never dies.
Chorus:
No sad farewells,
(Dear friends, there'll be no sad farewells)
No tear-dimmed eyes;
(There'll be no tear-dimmed eyes)
Where all is love,
(Where all is peace and joy and love)
And the soul never dies.
(And the soul of man never dies)
Author: William M. Golden
Here's one of my favorite renditions of this grand old gospel song, by grand old Willie Nelson.
