Sweet By and By

There's a land that is fairer than day,

1

There's a land that is fairer than day,And by faith we can see it afar;For our Father waits over the way,To prepare us a dwelling place there.

Chorus.

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.

3

To our bountiful Father aboveWe will offer a tribute of praise,For the glorious gift of his love,And the blessings that hallow our days.
