Text: | Sweet By and By |
Author: | Sanford F. Bennett |
Tune: | [There's a land that is fairer than day] |
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.
Chorus:
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. (Chorus)
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. (Chorus)
4 We shall rest on that beautiful shore,
In the joys of the saved we shall share;
All our pilgrimage toil will be o'er,
And the conqueror's crown we shall wear.
In the sweet, etc.
5 We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign,
In the land where the saved never die;
We shall rest free from sorrow and pain,
Safe at home in the sweet by and by.
In the sweet, etc.
