Author: Robert Lowry Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #356 First Line: A better day is coming Refrain First Line: Coming by and by, coming by and by! Lyrics: 1 A better day is coming,
A morning promised long,
When girded right, with holy might,
Will overthrow the wrong;
When God the Lord will listen
To every plaintive sigh,
And stretch His hand o’er every land,
With justice by and by.
Refrain:
Coming by and by, coming by and by!
The better day is coming,
The morning draweth nigh;
Coming by and by, coming by and by!
The welcome dawn will hasten on,
’Tis coming by and by.
2 The boast of haughty error
No more will fill the air,
But age and youth will love the truth,
And spread it everywhere;
No more from want and sorrow
Will come the hopeless cry;
And strife will cease and perfect peace
Will flourish by and by. [Refrain]
3 Oh! for that holy dawning
We watch, and wait, and pray,
Till o’er the height the morning light
Shall drive the gloom away;
And when the heav’nly glory
Shall flood the earth and sky,
We’ll bless the Lord for all His word,
And praise Him by and by. [Refrain]
