Recently, I had heard the song at a homegoing service and after seeing that it wasn't really distributed online, I decided to post it here.


Verse 1:
Jesus never will forsake us as we travel here below
he has said that he would meet us by and by (Meet us by and by)
if we're faithful to his teaching walking where he bids us go
he has promised that our soul shall never die (soul shall never die).

Chorus:
Hallelujah! (Hallelujah!) what a promise, (what a precious promise)
that our soul (that our soul), shall never die (never never die)
but shall live (but shall live), through endless ages (all the endless ages)
with the king (with the king), who rules on high (perfect life on high)
all our sorrows (all our sorrows), will be ended (on that day be ended)
not a tear (not a tear), to dim the eye (to ever dim the eye)
hallelujah (hallelujah), what a promise (what a precious promise)
that our soul (that our soul), shall never die (never never die)

Verse 2:
Jesus went back to his father to prepare for us a place
he has said that he would meet us by and by (meet us by and by)
if we follow his example and accept his saving grace
he has promised that our soul shall never die. (soul shall never die)

Chorus

Verse 3:
On the resurrection morning when the graves are opened wide
he has said that he would meet us by and by (meet us by and by)
if we're ready for his coming we will live on Canaan's side
he has promised that our soul shall never die (soul shall never die)

Chorus
