Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Christ in Song #856 (1908) Hymnal Title: Christ in Song First Line: We shall reach the summer land Refrain First Line: Bye and bye Lyrics: 1. We shall reach the summer land,
Some sweet day, by and by;
We shall press the golden strand,
Some sweet day, by and by;
O the loving welcome there,
By the tree of life so fair!
How we long that joy to share,
Some sweet day, by and by.
Refrain:
By and by,
Some sweet day,
We shall meet our lov'd ones gone,
Some sweet day, by and by.
2. At the crystal river's brink,
Some sweet day, by and by;
We shall find each broken link,
Some sweet day, by and by;
Then the star that, fading here,
Left our hearts and homes so drear,
We shall see more bright and clear,
Some sweet day, by and by. [Refrain]
3. Oh, these parting scenes will end,
Some sweet day, by and by;
We shall gather friend with friend,
Some sweet day, by and by;
There before our Father's throne,
When the mists and clouds have flown,
We shall know as we are known,
Some sweet day, by and by. [Refrain] Topics: The Home Eternal Meeting in Heaven; Special Selections Solos; Special Selections Choir or Quartet Languages: English Tune Title: [We shall reach the summer land]
