  1. Where the Soul Never DiesRevelation 21:4

  2. Introductory Thoughts A song which describes the blessings of heaven. The text and tune were composed both by William Matthew Golden. The song mentions a number of characteristics that will be true of the eternal state of the righteous in heaven.

  3. A Promised Land Just as Joshua brought the people of Israel into Canaan, so Jesus has a rest for God’s people in the heavenly promised land – Hebrews 4:8-9. And Jesus Himself is the way by which we can arrive there – John 14:4-6. In that eternal home, our darkest night will turn to day because there is no night there – Revelation 21:25.

  4. A Place Where We Shall Spend Eternity The concept of roses never fading symbolizes the fact that the life which we shall have there will be everlasting – Matthew 25:46. The word “blooming” reminds us of the tree of life which is beside the river of waters of life in that heavenly city – Revelation 22:1-2. Some people object to using the term “spend” eternity, but this is just a way our finite language has of talking about the eternal life which God has promised – 1 John 2:25.

  5. A Place Where All Will Be Light There will be no need of the sun or moon in heaven, because God Himself and the Lamb will be the light – Revelation 21:23. This “love light” beams across the foam of the sea which is now separating us from God – Revelation 4:6. It shines to light the shores of home to show that it is possible for us to cross that sea in our journey toward the heavenly home – Revelation 15:1-2.

  6. A Place Of Everlasting Joy The Bible teaches that until the second coming our lives will end someday because it is appointed for us to die once – Hebrews 9:27. However, it will be a “deathless sleep” in that the idea of “those who are asleep in Christ” refers to their bodies but not their souls – 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 Then, after the resurrection, the soul with its new immortal body will enter the joy of the Lord – Matthew 25:41

  7. A Fair Land Where There Will Be No Parting If we are on our way, then we have entered the strait gate and are traveling the narrow way – Matthew 7:13-14. The end of that way is a fair land because it is a heavenly country prepared by God – Hebrews 11:16. The reason that there will be no parting hand there is that those who are in heaven will have eaten the bread of life by which they will not die – John 6:50-51.

  8. Concluding Thoughts The chorus continues to emphasize the blessed and eternal state of the righteous in heaven. The longer the Christian lives here on earth, growing older and facing death, the more he can look forward to that place “Where the Soul Never Dies.”
