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.
Chorus:
In the sweet (In the sweet) by and by, (by and by,)
We shall meet on that beautiful shore; (by and by;)
In the sweet (In the sweet) by and by, (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. [Chorus]
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. [Chorus]
