Text: | There's a Land That Is Fairer Than Day |
Author: | Sanford F. Bennett |
Tune: | SWEET BY AND BY |
Composer: | Joseph P. Webster |
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]
