Appears in 368 hymnals First Line: We speak of the realms of the blest Refrain First Line: In the sweet by and by Lyrics: 1 We speak of the realms of the blest, That region so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed-- But what must it be to be there? Chorus: In the sweet by and by, We shall rest on that beautiful shore. 2 We speak of its freedom from sin, From sorrow, temptation, and care, From trials without and within,-- But what must it be to be there! [Chorus] 3 We speak of its service of love, The robes which the glorified wear, The church of the first-born above-- But what must it be to be there! [Chorus] 4 O Father! 'mid sorrow and woe, For heaven our spirits prepare, And shortly we also shall know, And feel what it is to be there. [Chorus]

Chorus: By and by, by and by, Watching and waiting till by and by; Summer will come again, Roses will bloom agian, Joy shall be mine again, by and by. Yes, we shall live again, Friends shall all meet again, We shall be happy then, by and by. 2 What will it matter, by and by, By and by? Whether unhelped I toiled alone, Dashing my foot against a stone; Missing the charge of the angel nigh, Bidding me think of the by and by. [Chorus] 3 What will it matter, by and by, By and by? Whether with cheek to cheek I've lain, Close by the pallid angel pain, Soothing myself thro' sob and sigh, All will be elsewise by and by. [Chorus] 4 What will it matter, by and by, By and by? If I'm but sure the way I've trod, Gloomy or gladdened, leads to God; Questioning not of the how or why, If I but reach Him by and by. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [What will it matter, by and by]
