We’ll Never Say Goodbye (Chapman)

lyricist: Anzentia Chapman, 1889
Composer: John Tenney

With friends on earth we meet in glad­ness

While swift the mo­ments fly

Yet ev­er comes the thought of sad­ness

That we must say

Good­bye.

We’ll nev­er say good­bye in Heav’n

We’ll nev­er say good­bye

For in that land of joy and song

We’ll nev­er say good­bye.

How joy­ful is the hope that lin­gers

When loved ones cross death’s sea

That we

when all earth’s toils are end­ed

With Thee shall ev­er be.

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.
