What Will It Matter?

Author: Margaret Junkin Preston Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8739 First Line: What will it matter, by and by Lyrics: 1 What will it matter, by and by, Whether my path below was bright, Whether it wound thro’ dark or light Under a gray or golden sky, When I look back on it by and by? 2 What will it matter, by and by, Whether, unhelped, I toiled alone, Dashing my foot against a stone, Missing, perhaps, the angel nigh, Bidding me think of the by and by? 3 What will it matter? Naught, if I Only am sure the way I’ve trod, Gloomy or gladdened, leads to God; Questioning not of how, or why, If I but gaze on Him by and by. 4 What will it matter? What the sigh, If, in my fear of slip or fall, Closely I’ve clung to Christ thro’ all, Mindless how rough the path might lie, Since He will comfort me by and by? Languages: English Tune Title: [What will it matter, by and by]

"By and by"

Author: Margaret J. Preston Hymnal: The Morning Star #64 (1877) First Line: What will it matter, by and by Refrain First Line: By and by, by and by Lyrics: 1 What will it matter, by and by, By and by? Whether my path below was bright, Whether it wound thro’ dark or light, Under a gray or golden sky, When I look back on it, by and by. 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] Tune Title: [What will it matter, by and by]
