Where We Never Shall Die
The Stanley Brothers · Other Songs - The Stanley Brothers
Where Jesus lives and we'll never say goodbye
To a home that's far and bright and there never is a night
In a land where we never shall die
I've a home way up on high where we shall live and never die
Won't you come and cross this river so wide
There with Jesus we will dwell never more to say farewell
In a land where we never shall die
Walk the straight the narrow way fall down on your knees and pray
God will help you cross the mountaintop so high
He will take you by the hand lead you to that promised land
In a land where we never shall die
Where We Never Shall Die
