Tune: | SWEET BY AND BY |
Composer: | Joseph P. Webster, 1819-1875 |
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 the tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days. [Refrain]
