The Land Where You Never Grow Old

[ Roud 10621 ; trad.]

Tír na nÓg is the most popular of the Otherworlds in Irish mythology. It is a Gaelic expression and means ‘The Land of Youth’ or ‘The land where you never grow old’.

Blue Murder sang The Land Where You Never Grow Old in 2002 on their album No One Stands Alone.

Lyrics

Oh you've heard of a land on a far away strand
It's the beautiful home of the soul
Built by Jesus on high where we never shall die
It's the land where we'll never grow old

Chorus (twice after each verse):

𝄆 Never grow old, never grow old,
In the land where we'll never grow old 𝄇

In that beautiful home where we never more roam
We shall be in that sweet by and by
Happy praise to the King through eternity sing
It's the land where we never shall die

When our work here is done and the life crown is won
When our troubles and trials are o'er
All our sorrows will end and our voices will blend
With the loved ones who've gone on before
