Representative Text

1 There will be no sin nor pain
By and by, by and by,
All that’s dark will be made plain
By and by, yes, by and by.
For the Lord will come again,
O how glorious his reign,
Like the sunshine after rain,
By and by, yes, by and by.

2 When life’s lessons we shall learn
By and by, by and by,
Jesus’ voice we shall discern
By and by, yes, by and by.
He will banish ev’ry sigh;
Let us lift our heads on high,
Our redemption draweth nigh
By and by, yes, by and by.

3 We shall see him eye to eye
By and by, by and by,
We shall meet him in the sky
By and by, yes, by and by.
We shall hear his tender tone,
We shall be no more alone,
He is coming to his own
By and by, yes, by and by.
