Sweet By and By
1 There's a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar; For the Father waits over the way To prepare us a dwelling place there. Refrain: In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore. In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore. 2 We shall sing on that beautiful shore The melodious songs of the blest; And our spirits shall sorrow no more, Not a sigh for the blessing of rest. [Refrain] 3 To our bountiful Father above We will offer our tribute of praise, For the glorious gift of His love And the blessings that hallow our days. [Refrain]
