In the Bible we read of a city
Where the streets are all paved with pure gold.
We will live in that city forever,
And there we shall never grow old.

Chorus: In Heaven we’ll never grow old.
In Heaven we’ll never grow old.
We will live in that city forever,
And there we shall never grow old.

In the Bible we read of a river
That flows by the throne, we are told.
We’ll drink of that pure living water,
And there we shall never grow old.

(Chorus)

Then we read of the earth-weary pilgrims
Who wandered through, hungry and cold.
They reached their arbor of safety,
And there they shall never grow old.

(Chorus)
