The Sacred Harp ‎#35

35. Our bondage, it shall end by and by, by and by

1 Our bondage it shall end By and by,
From Egypt’s yoke set free;
Hail the glorious jubilee,
And to Canaan we’ll return, By and by.

2 Our deliverer He shall come By and by,
And our sorrows have an end,
With our three score years and ten,
And vast glory crown the day By and by.

3 Though our enemies are strong,
We’ll go on, Though our hearts dissolve with fear,
Lo, Sinai’s God is near,
While the fiery pillar moves, We’ll go on.
