In the Sweet By and By

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

Refrain, after each verseIn 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.

We shall sing on that beautiful shoreThe melodious songs of the blest,And our spirits shall sorrow no more,Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

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

We shall rest on that beautiful shore,In the joys of the saved we shall share;All our pilgrimage toil will be o'er,And the conqueror's crown we shall wear.

We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign,In the land where the saved never die;We shall rest, free from sorrow and pain,Safe at home in the sweet by and by.
