With friends on earth we meet in gladness,
While swift the moments fly
Yet ever comes the thot' of sadness,
That we must say "Good-bye "
We'll never say good-bye in heav'n,
We'll never say good-bye,
In that fair land of joy and song,
We'll never say good-bye .
How joyful is the hope that lingers,
When loved ones say "Farewell"
That we, when all earth's toils are ended,
With them shall ever dwell.
We'll never say good-bye in heav'n,
We'll never say good-bye,
In that fair land of joy and song,
We'll never say good-bye.
No parting words shall e'er be spoken,
In yonder home so fair,
But songs of joy, and peace, and gladness,
We'll sing forever there.
We'll never say good-bye in heav'n,
We'll never say good-bye,
In that fair land of joy and song,
We'll never say good-bye.
