The Little Seraph ‎#150

150. Sweet by and by

1 There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we may 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]
