“Where We’ll Never Grow Old,” often titled “In the Land Where We’ll Never Grow Old,” is a gospel song written in 1914 by James C. Moore, a young Baptist pastor. Moore wrote it, he said, after realizing that his aging father’s singing voice was failing, and he dedicated it to his parents.
The song describes heaven as a beautiful, faraway home built by Jesus — a land without sorrow or death, where souls never age and the faithful are reunited with loved ones who went before. Its comfort lies in that picture of a place beyond time.
Recorded by many artists across gospel and country, the hymn found a lasting place in bluegrass.
