87. Triumph By and By!

1 The prize is set before us—
To win, our Lord implores us,
The eye of God is o'er us
From on high!
His loving tones are falling,
While sin is dark, appalling;
'Tis Jesus gently calling—
He is nigh.

Chorus:
By and by we shall meet Him,
By and by we shall greet Him,
And with Jesus reign in glory
By and by;
By and by we shall meet Him,
By and by we shall greet Him,
And with Jesus reign in glory
by and by.

2 We'll follow where He leadeth,
We'll pasture where He feedeth,
We'll yield to Him who pleadeth
From on high.
Then naught from Him shall sever,
Our hopes shall brighten ever,
And faith shall fail us never—
He is nigh. [Chorus]

3 Our home is bright above us,
No trials dark to move us,
But Jesus dear to love us
There on high;
We'll give Him best endeavor,
And praise His name forever;
His precious words can never,
Never die. [Chorus]
